Studies on the marine algal flora of Venezuela. IV. Botryocladia papenfussiana sp. nov. (Rhodophyceae, Rhodymeniales),

The benthic marine algae of the tropical and subtropical Western Atlantic: changes in our understanding in the last half century

“…Examples of the increase in the number of species recognition in selected genera: Species of Hypoglossum recognized in the western Atlantic for the past 50 years: Taylor (1960). By the time of Wynne's (1986) first checklist, five species had been added to the flora: B. monoica Schnetter (1978) with a type locality near Punta de Betin, Santa Marta, on the Caribbean coast of Colombia; B. papenfussiana Ganesan et Lemus (1972) with a type locality of Peñoncito, Cumaná, Venezuela; B. shanksii E. Y. Dawson (1962) with a type locality of Puerto Limon, Atlantic coast of Costa Rica, B. spinulifera W. R. Taylor et I.…”

Advances in the study of benthic marine algae since the time of E. M. Holmes

“…In the relatively less well-known floras (and even occasionally in the well-known areas), it remains possible to detect comparatively readily forms which d o not seem to be attributable to existing taxa, but for which more data are clearly required.
