A new species and new records of marine algae from Chile

Abstract

Continued study of the marine algae of the coast of northern and central Chile has revealed the presence of a number of new forms. A new species (Gastroclonium cylindricum), two new combinations (Cryptonemia lobata and Gastroclonium trichodes) and the presence of four species with highly disjunct patterns of geographic distribution (Cutleria multifida, Colpomenia phaeodactyla, Petroglossum pacificum and Schotteria nicaeensis) are reported.
