The distributions of five species of Plzyllophora Greville (Order Gigartinales) were examined in the North Atlantic and Arctic regions. Less detailed distributional observations of Pf7yllophora were made in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Distributional records, based on extant specimens from extensive personal field observations in the United Kingdom and eastern North America and from collections in various herbaria, are recorded in tables and on maps; these records are discussed.

Introduction

Phyllophora Greville (Order Gigartinales, Family Phyllophoraceae) is well represented in the North Atlantic. Five species of Plzyllophora were listed by Parke and Dixon (1968) for the British Isles. Nomenclatural studies (Newroth 1970; Newroth and Taylor 1971) have shown that three of these, P. crispa (Huds.) Dixon, P. palmettoides J. Ag., and P. traillii Holm. ex Batt. are legitimate names. However, two new com- binations were proposed: P. truncata (Pallas) Newroth et A. R. A. Taylor (= P. brodiaei (Turn.) Endl., = P. interrupts r rev.) J. Ag.) and P. pseudoceranoides (Gmelin) Newroth et A. R. A. Taylor ( =P. rnernbranfolia (Good. et Woodw.) Endl.).

The literature does not provide a summary of the distribution of Phyllophora in the North Atlantic and Arctic regions. Moreover, because of the difficulty in identifying several species, there are numerous cases of incorrect citations. In this paper, observations on the distributions of the five species listed by Parke and Dixon (1 968) are reported.

Materials and Methods In the period from 1965 to 1970 many sites on the east-

ern seaboard of North America and in Britain were ex- amined for Phyllopl7ora by the author. Eighty-four collections were made at 35 localities from Rhode Island to Newfoundland, and. in the British Isles, 142 collections were made at 53 localities. Single collections were made at Ple Tatihou, Cherbourg Peninsula. France, and Bayona, Spain. In 35 of these collections material was collected by diving, 28 using SCUBA.

After studying Phyllophora specimens in these collec- tions (included in Tables 1 and 4), the author examined

collections in 38 private and institutional herbaria in North America and Europe. Attempts were made to study all the collections of P/~yllophora from Arctic and North Atlantic areas.

Distribution lists (Tables 1 to 4) were compiled from specimens observed in herbaria or collected by the author. Specimens of doubtful attribution were not included. The location of a voucher specimen is indicated by the ac- cepted herbarium abbreviation (after Lanjouw and Stafleu 1964) or an unofficial abbreviation placed in parentheses. A key to the unofficial abbreviations has been provided in Table 5.

The maps in Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate the distribution of Phyllophora in eastern North America and in the British Isles.

Observations and Discussion EASTERN CANADA AND UNITED STATES

The distributional records of Plzy/lophora for this area are listed in Table 1 and shown on Fig. 1 .

Taylor (1957) outlined the North American ranges of P. pseudoceranoides (as P. rnernbranfo- lia), P. truncata (as P. brodiaei and P. interrupta), and P. traillii. More recent work has considerably expanded knowledge of the distribution of Phyl- lophora. Hehre and Mathieson (1970) reported their investigation of the marine flora of New Hampshire, while MacFarlane, Cardinal, and Edelstein et a[. have contributed much to knowl- edge of Phyllophora distributions in Eastern Canada.

Bell and MacFarlane (1933) and MacFarlane and Milligan (1965) reported the presence of P. pseudoceranoides (as P. ~nernbranfolia) and P. trurzcata (as P. brodiaei) in the Gulf of St. Law- rence, and P. pseudoceranoides (as P: rnernbrani- folia) in the Bay of Fundy and the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia.

and GaspC. Edelstein and McLachlan (1966) re- corded these species from Halifax Co., N.S., and later (Edelstein and McLachlan 1968) reported P. traillii from Digby Co., N.S.

Newroth and Taylor (1968) first cited P. trun- cata (as P. brodiaei) from the Bay of Fundy and also presented additional data on the distribution of this species and Ceratocolax hartzii Rosen- vinge. Additional new records of Phyllophora- ceae in Eastern Canada include P. traillii and Gymnogongrus norvegicus (Gunnerus) J. Ag. from Point Lepreau, St. John Co., N.B. The Nova Scotia record of P. traillii, cited by Edel- stein and McLachlan (1968) and later by Edel-

stein et al. (1970), appears to be incorrect. Examination of their specimen (also illustrated, Edelstein and McLachlan 1968) suggested that it may be a juvenile specimen of P. truncata with developing nemathecia.

The Delaware record of P. pseudoceranoides (Table 1) is the southernmost record of Phyllo- phora in the western Atlantic.

NEWROTH: PHYLLOPHORA DISTRIBUTION 1021

specimens of P. pseudoceranoides and P. crispa from that area were observed by the author. J6nsson (1901) claimed that specimens of P. crispa from Iceland, housed in the Botanical Institute, Copenhagen were doubtful. Perhaps these and other specimens in Leiden and Upp- sala were mislabeled.

The southern range of Phyllophora on the European coast has not been sharply defined in relation to the Mediterranean flora. Table 3 indicates that P. pseudoceranoides, P. traillii, P. crispa, and P. palmettoides were present on the Atlantic coast of France. Phyllophora heredia (Clemente) Endlicher, not examined in detail in this research, is common in the Mediterranean and also occurs on the southern Atlantic coast of France (Schotter 1968).

In the Mediterranean, Plzylloplzora appears to be restricted to P. heredia, P. crispa forma nervosa, and P. palinettoides. Two additional species of Phyllophora, P. jiinbriata ErcegoviC (1949) and P. aegei Giaccone (1968), were re- ported from the Adriatic Sea. As they are poorly known and their systematic position is uncertain, their distributions are not discussed here.

The Black Sea flora includes P. truncata and P. crispa, as reported by Mikhoulov and Mash- takova (1966), and Zinova (1967) also records P. membranifolia (=P. pseudoceranoides). How- ever, this is perhaps erroneous, as her figure (p. 261, Fig. 156) of this species has cystocarps labeled by her as "nemathecia." It is possible that a misidentification was made. Furthermore, no specimens of P. pseudoceranoides have been seen from the Black Sea.

BRITISH ISLES

Although the algae of this area have received considerable study, no overall survey of Phyl- loplzora has been made. Evaluation of cited literature records not substantiated bv extant specimens is difficult, and it appears that many workers have misidentified Phyllophora.

The citation, in numerous publications, of P. truncata from the south coast of England, is a good example of the persistence of incorrect old records. After examining many herbarium speci- mens, and collecting on the south coast, the author agrees with Cotton (1912) that P. truizcata occurs only in more northern waters (see Fig. 2). The recent citation of P. truncata (as P. brodiaei) from the Scilly Isles (Russell 1968) appears to be erroneous, based on a mis- identification of Rhodymenia pseudopalnzata (Lamour.) Silva (personal communication from Mrs. L. M. Irvine, British Museum (N.H.)). Cystocarpic specimens of this species closely resemble P. truncata. The author found many specimens of Rhodymenia pseudopalmata and P. palinettoides in algal herbaria were mis- identified as P. truncata.

Conclusions Although the range of distribution of the five

species of Phyllophora recorded here will no doubt be extended by future research, these species appear to occur in distinct areas. Only P. truncata shows a marked discontinuity in its distribution. I t is circumboreal in the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, extending south to New Jersey in the western Atlantic (Table 1, Fig. 1) and to Counties Wexford and Kerry, Eire, and Caernar- vonshire, Wales, in the eastern Atlantic (Table 4, Fig. 2). This species also occurs in the Black Sea (Table 3), although there is no evidence that it is present in the Mediterranean Sea.

FIG. 1. The distribution of Plzyllophora in eastern Canada and the United States.

P. pseudoceranoides is amphi-Atlantic, with its northern limit in Newfoundland and its southern limit in Delaware (Table 1, Fig. I), in the western Atlantic. In the eastern Atlantic, it occurs as far north as Iceland and as far south as the coast of France (Table 3).

P. traillii has been found in the western Atlantic from New Bruilswick south to Con- necticut (Table 1, Fig. 1) and in the eastern Atlantic from the Faroes to the south coast of England and the coast of France (Tables 3 and 4, Fig. 2).

The distribution of P. palnzettoides appears to be restricted to the southern part of Britain

(the most northerly record is from Wales, Table 4, Fig. 2), the French Atlantic coast, and the Mediterranean Sea (Table 3).

P. crispa is widespread in the eastern Atlantic, from its northern limit in Iceland (Table 3) to the southern limit in North Africa. This species is also present in the Mediterranean and Black Seas.
