- Title
TAXONOMY OF THE FLATTENED SOLIERIACEAE (RHODOPHYTA) IN BRAZIL: <em>AGARDHIELLA</em> AND <em>MERISTIELLA</em>.
- Authors
Guimarães, Silvia M. P. B.; Oliveira, Eurico C.
- Abstract
Taxonomic studies of an extensive collection of flattened members of the Solieriaceae considered by many authors to be species of Agardhiella, Eucheuma, Meristotheca, and Meristiella lead us to conclude that they represent only two genera in Brazil: Agardhiella, including A. ramosissima (Harvey) Kylin and A. floridana (Kylin) Gabrielson ex Guimaraes et Oliveira, and Meristiella, with only one species, M. gelidium (J. Agardh) Cheney et Gabrielson. Accordingly, we propose that 1) Meristotheca gigartinoides Joly et Ugadim be synonymized with Agardhiella floridana, and 2) Meristiella echinocarpa (Areschoug) Cheney et Gabrielson and M. schrammii (P. et H. Crouan) Chency et Gabrielson be synonymized with Meristiella gelidium.
