Abstract
The marine benthic floras of many remote localities are poorly studied. Sampling, during a short visit, followed by laboratory culture techniques can be employed to extend the flora lists. Islas Robinson Crusoe and Santa Clara off the coast of central Chile were visited for 10 days in 1991. Small fragments of benthic and sublittoral algae and various substrates were collected and subsequently incubated in the laboratory. The developing ectocarpoid algae were used to establish unialgal cultures. Morphological characters were well expressed, and the following species could be identified and correlated with the taxa reported by Levring in 1941: Ectocarpus fasciculatus, Feldmannia simplex (= Ectocarpus cylindricus Saunders), Hincksia granulosa, H. mitchelliae, H. conifera (= Ectocarpus arabicus Figari et De Notaris) and Kuetzingiella battersii (= Ectocarpus minutissimus Levring)
