Note. The crisp, three-dimensional thalli of H. clathratus mainly grow epilithic at about low water mark. The suppler, strap-like thalli of H. tenuis were usually entangled with other seaweeds (e.g. Sargassum ) or corals, although it has also been found drifting in the lagoon. In a few instances, we observed that H. clathratus , exposed at low tide to the air, was closely associated with thalli of H. tenuis , continuously submerged in the rock pool next to it. This casts doubt on the taxonomic identity of H. tenuis . Womersley (1987: 302) states that ‘ H. clathratus is distinctive in form but varies considerably in compactness of the net, the more compact forms usually occurring in shallow water with more wave action’. He does not refer to H. tenuis . : Published as part of Coppejans, Eric, Leliaert, Frederik, Verbruggen, Heroen, de Clerck, Olivier, Schils, Tom, de Vriese, Thomas & Marie, Daniel, 2004, The marine green and brown algae of Rodrigues (Mauritius, Indian Ocean), pp. 2959-3020 in Journal of Natural History 38 (23) on pages 3006-3007, DOI: 10.1080/00222930410001695024, http://zenodo.org/record/5251841 : {"references": ["HOWE, M.
