Abstract
Phyllariopsis gen. nov. and Saccorhiza de la Pylaie make up the family Phyllariaceae Tilden 1935, distinguished from other families in the Laminariales by the occurrence of thick-walled conducting elements (solenocysts) in the medulla. Several other characters of the family indicate primitiveness: zoospores possess eyespots, holdfasts lack branched haptera, sorus paraphyses lack thickened tips, the sexual pheromone is not lamoxirene, gametophytes of some species are not sexually dimorphic, and hair tufts occur on young laminae. Phyllariopsis gen. nov. is proposed, with the new combinations Phyllariopsis brevipes - Phyllaria reniformis (Lamouroux) Rostafinski ex Bornet and Phyllariopsis purpurascens = Phyllaria purpurascens (C. Agardh) Rostafinski ex Bornet.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
