Stictyosiphon arcticus (Fucophyceae, Stictyosiphonaceae) a new species from Greenland, North Norway, and Baffin Island

A new species of Stictyosiphon from the North Atlantic is decribeci. Morphologically it resembles a densely branched Chordaria flagelliformis or an aberrant Dictyosiphon foeniculaceus. It disagrees with known species of Stictyosiphon by a loosely constructed cortex which develops in connection with...

Description
Summary:A new species of Stictyosiphon from the North Atlantic is decribeci. Morphologically it resembles a densely branched Chordaria flagelliformis or an aberrant Dictyosiphon foeniculaceus. It disagrees with known species of Stictyosiphon by a loosely constructed cortex which develops in connection with formation of plurilocular sporangia. We, therefore, consider this a new species for which the name Stictyosiphon arcticus is proposed.
