The Corallinaceae, subfamily Mastophoroideae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) in south-eastern Australia

The Corallinaceae, subfamily Mastophoroideae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) in south-eastern Australia The first monographic account of the south-eastern Australian representatives of the Corallinaceae, subfamily Mastophoroideae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) is presented. The Mastophoroideae contains eight extant genera, four of which ( Hydrolithon , Mastophora , Neogoniolithon , Pneophyllum ) were confirmed to occur in south-eastern Australia. Hydrolithon is represented by six species ( H. farinosum , H. improcerum , H. munitum , H. onkodes , H. rupestre and H. samoënse ). Pneophyllum is represented by three species ( P. coronatum , P. fragile and P. submersiporum ) while Mastophora and Neogoniolithon are represented by a single species each ( Mastophora pacifica and Neogoniolithon brassica-florida ). Morphological and anatomical accounts are provided, including keys to genera and species, comparisons with related south-eastern Australian mastophoroid species, information on distribution, seasonality, habitat and nomenclature. Brief biogeographical comparisons between south-eastern Australia and other Australasian regions are also made. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australian Systematic Botany CSIRO Publishing

Abstract

The first monographic account of the south-eastern Australian representatives of the Corallinaceae, subfamily Mastophoroideae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) is presented. The Mastophoroideae contains eight extant genera, four of which ( Hydrolithon , Mastophora , Neogoniolithon , Pneophyllum ) were confirmed to occur in south-eastern Australia. Hydrolithon is represented by six species ( H. farinosum , H. improcerum , H. munitum , H. onkodes , H. rupestre and H. samoënse ). Pneophyllum is represented by three species ( P. coronatum , P. fragile and P. submersiporum ) while Mastophora and Neogoniolithon are represented by a single species each ( Mastophora pacifica and Neogoniolithon brassica-florida ). Morphological and anatomical accounts are provided, including keys to genera and species, comparisons with related south-eastern Australian mastophoroid species, information on distribution, seasonality, habitat and nomenclature. Brief biogeographical comparisons between south-eastern Australia and other Australasian regions are also made.
