Review of the genera of algae described by Stackhouse

“…The first species listed by Stackhouse (1809, p. 90) inhis genus Fmtigiaria is F. Linnaei, the one considered the type by Papenfuss (1950). of which the type specimen is probably one, have not been considered to represent a separate species.…”

“…Feldmann (1941) thinks that several species may have been confused under the above name, so Lyle's specimen should be examined. (11) See Papenfuss (1950), Waern (1952), Silva (1952 Feldmann, 1941). (13) See J.…”

This preliminary list of some of the classes of the algae has been prepared, mainly for the use of British phycologists, to form a basis on which to work for the eventual compilation of a complete check and localitylist of all species of British marine algae. The compiler would be grateful for all additions and corrections to this list, and for records of marine species from the algal classes not included in the present list. The classes of algae treated in this list are the Chlorophyceae (S3 gen., IS6 spp.), Xanthophyceae (7 gen., IS spp.), Chrysophyceae(IS gen., 22 spp.), Phaeophyceae (96 gen., 199 spp.), Rhodophyc;eae(126 gen., 324 spp.), and Cyanophyceae(39 gen., 12Sspp.). The genera are listed alphabeticallyunder the family and the species alphabetically under the genus. If a name has been changed from that given in Newton (1931), the name in Newton is added, in brackets, below. Names preceded by a question mark appear to need revision for nomenclatural or taxonomic reasons. Most of the so-called varieties listed are very probably merely habitat forms of the species, but further investigation is needed before new combinations are made for them. Notes are given at the end of each class, the number in brackets following a name in the list refers to these notes.. The compiler is grateful to Mr R. Ross and Miss Linda Newton, of the British Museum, and to Miss C. I. Dickinson, of the Herbarium, Kew, for their help over a number of problems. She is also grateful to Miss D. Ballantine for her assistance in checking through some of the literature for marine algal records.

Review of the genera of algae described by Stackhouse

Abstract: With few exceptions, algal nomenclature, like that of most other groups of plants, begins with the year 1753, when the first edition of Linnaeus's Species plantarum was published . In the second volume of this work, Linnaeus recognized fourteen genera of algae, viz .,
