Abstract
A study of new Halimeda material available from the International Indian Ocean Expedition, and of type and other specimens not previously available, further indicated that Halimeda opuntia is a composite of species rather than a single species. The characteristics of some of its infraspecific taxa differ sufficiently from typical H. opuntia to justify elevating them to species. Extended diagnoses of 3, H. hederacea, H. minima, and H. distorta, are given. Some characteristics new in Halimeda taxonomy are introduced, and distinguishing macroscopic and microscopic characteristics for the new species are discussed. Available ecological data are included.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
