Notes on the benthic marine algae of Puerto Rico. XII: additions to the flora

摘要

Five species of benthic marine algae (Phaeophyceae: Lobophora littlerorum; Rhodophyta: Meristotheca cylindrica, Naccaria corymbosa, Xiphosiphonia pinnulata and Dipterosiphonia reversa) represent new distribution records from the coastal waters surrounding Puerto Rico in the northern Caribbean Sea. The latter two species are now reported for the first time from the western Atlantic Caribbean.
