Abstract
Laurencia caduciramulosa is recorded for the first time for the eastern Atlantic Ocean off Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. The specimens were collected in 2006, growing epilithically in the lower intertidal zone on moderately exposed rocky shores. This species is characterized by reduced size, a well-developed stolon-like basal system and erect axes with abundant deciduous branchlets that function as propagules, except on the uppermost portions of the branches, where they form crowns of branchlets. As in all other reports of this species, gametangia and sporangia were not observed. This study expands the geographical distribution of L. caduciramulosa to the eastern Atlantic Ocean.
