Abstract: Trematocarpus Kiitzing in southern Africa is found to comprise four taxa in three species: newly described is T. fragilis (Ag.) De Toni var. divaricatus Simons, var. nov. Two of the species, T. flabellatus (J. Ag.) De Toni and T. affinis (J. Ag.) De Toni are restored to independent specific rank after being regarded as synonyms of T. scutellatus (Her.) Searles. It is shown that Sphaerococcus (Chondrus) scutellatus Her., the basionym of T. scutellatus refers to a species of Gigartina, therefore a new combinatio… Show more
