Abstract

Peyssonnelia imbricata sp. nov. occurs in shallow protected coral reef, mangrove and deep-reef habitats in southwestern Puerto Rico, Caribbean Sea. The species is characterized by its small imbricate blades which may form extensive colonies, vegetative production of new blades from the dorsal surface of parent blades, polyflabellate arrangement of hypothallial cells and its Peyssonnelia atropurpurea-type anatomy.
