Genus Colpomenia Derbes et Solier (Phaeophyta) in Gulf of California: Smithsonian Contributions to Botany, Number 35

摘要

Four species of the brown algal genus Colpomenza Derbes et Solier (Scytosiphonales) are recognized as occurring within the Gulf of California: C. sinuosa (Roth) Derbes et Solier, C. tziberculata Saunders, C. ramosa Taylor, and C. phaeodartyla, new species. Some of the specimens interpreted by Dawson (1944) as Rosenvingea intricata are now referred to C. ramosa Taylor. Although recorded from the Pacific coast of Baja California, C. ramosa has not yet been reported within the Gulf. Interrelationships of the species complex of Colpomenia with related genera such as Iyengaria Boergesen, Rosenvingea Boergesen, and Scytosiphon C. Agardh are discussed.
