- Title
<em>BRYOBESIA JOHANNAE</em>, A SMALL TROPICAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ORDER CLADOPHORALES (CHLOROPHYCEAE).

- Abstract
The small and ill-known tropical chlorophyte, Brybesia johannae Weber-van Bosse, is redescribed on the basis of living material from the coral reef of Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles. Additional records are given from the Canary Islands. One species, B. johannae, is recognized (including B. cylindrocarpa Howe 1920), and this probably has a wide Atlantic and Indo-Pacific tropical distribution. Bryobesia is not related to Bryopsis and Derbesia (Caulerpales), but belongs to the Cladophorales. It appears to be a rudimentary Cladophora.
