RHODOPHYCEAE 



GELIDIUM Lamouroux 



GELIDIUM AM ANSI I Kiitz. 



Muscus gelatinus japponensis Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 90. 



In the text, page 88, t. UO, f. 3, is referred to Muscus gelatinus 

 japponensis, and this figure is placed with the description by 

 Hasskarl, Neue Schlussel (1866) 167; to me the figure looks 

 distinctly like Gracilaria lichenoides (Linn.) Harv. Martens 

 refers the figure to Chaetomorpha javanica Kiitz., where it 

 certainly does not belong. Henschel referred the description 

 and the figure to Sphaerococcus gelatinus Ag., while Hasskarl 

 suggested that both might be referable to Eucheuma spinosum 

 Ag. Martens states that the species, as described, "ist sicher 

 das von Siebold aus Japan mitgebracht Gelidium Amansii Kiitz., 

 aber Rumph. scheint verschiedene andere heterogene Gegen- 

 stande nicht gehorig davon zu unterscheiden." 



HIMANTHALIA Lyngbye 



HIMANTHALIA LOREA (Linn.) Lyngb. 



Bodelha altera Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 187. 



This is scarcely more than mentioned by Rumphius as growing 

 on the coasts of Spain and Portugal. The reduction follows 

 Martens. 



GRACILARIA Greville 



GRACILARIA LICHENOIDES (Linn.) Harv. 



Sphaerococcus lichenoides Ag. 



Alga coralloides I Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 181, t. 7k, /. 8, t. 76, f. A-C. 



Amboina, Hitoe lama, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 573, November 5, 1913, 

 on coral in shallow water. 



Loureiro, Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 686, referred this to Lichen 

 rocella Lour., which is an entirely erroneous disposition of it, 

 whatever Loureiro's species may prove to be. It has been 

 referred by various authors to Fucus edulis Gmel. and to Sphae- 

 rococcus lichenoides Agardh, the former a synonym of the latter. 

 Martens considers it to be Sphaerococcus lichenoides Agardh= 

 Gracilaria lichenoides Harv. The illustration given on t. U0 f 

 f. 3, referred in the text to Muscus gelatinus japponensis, and by 

 Martens referred to Capillus nympharum Rumph. ==C7&ae£o- 

 morpha javanica Kiitz., very much better agrees with named
