We report the first record of Chamaebotrys proliferus from the Indo-Pacific waters in the Philippines. The rarely collected alga is previously known only from its type locality in Puerto Rico. This species is morphologically characterized in part by its proliferous vesicular branches. We also report, for the first time, its growth rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
