Cladophora Kutzing, 1843

Philippines. Luzon L: Bataan Pr., Limay, 
Shaw 1106 , 24 iv 11. Indonesia. Java: Pame- 
ungpeuk, Setchell JP397, 26 v 29= This, except 
for the heavy rhizoidal investment on the main 
axes, comes close to C. prolifera (Roth) Kiitz. 
Cladophora jascicularis (Mert.) Kiitz. 
India. Madras St., Kmsadai L, Janaki, 23 vi 
32 (high). This may very well be the C. monu- 
mentalis Bprgesen (1935:24), but the distinc- 
tions set up by him seem inadequate in view of 
the variability of the older species. 
Cladophora quisumhingii n. sp. 
Fig. 1 
Plants tufted, 2-7 cm tall, not blackening 
when dried; basal cells distinct, without rhiz- 
oidal reinforcement; branching dense, the main 
axes not persisting, branches below opposite or 
3-4-verticillate, or irregular, those above oppo- 
site, pseudodichotomous or alternate; cells near 
the base femur- to club-shaped with swollen 
ends, above becoming more cylindrical and in 
the ramelli cylindrical to slightly cask-shaped, 
the branchlet tips blunt and often a little en- 
larged; near the base the median cell diameter 
to 45 Op,, the cells about 7 diameters long, in 
the middle portion of the plant 2 70-31 Op diam, 
the cells 4-5 diameters long, and in the ultimate 
ramelli 225-360p diam, the cells 1. 5-7.0 diam- 
eters long; cell walls below very thick (to 70- 
90p) and often not collapsing when dried, 
but the walls in the ramelli about 7p thick.

Among the Philippine Cladophoras from 
Berkeley there were several mounts which 
seemed to be grouped under the name C. 
prolifera (Roth) Kiitz., a rather improbable 
ascription considering the type locality of that 
species. Closer examination suggested the pres- 
ence of at least two species: one, with rhizoids 
heavily covering the axes for three or even more 
degrees of branching from the base, which 
seemed to agree well with C. aokii Yam., while 
another of somewhat different habit lacked 
rhizoidal development altogether and was 
lighter in color, with heavy- walled lower cells. 
From C. aokii the absence of rhizoids and 
coarser branches readily distinguish this second 
species. From C. prolifera the absence of rhi- 
zoids and lack of blackening, with details of 
habit, are sufficient. Some mounts bore the 
manuscript name of C. quisumhingii, which ap- 
pears not to have been published, so it would 
seem appropriate to adopt it in recognition of 
the merits of the Philippine botanist, Dr. 
Eduardo Quisumbing.
