Abstract

Abstract Seven marine Rhodophyta are added to the flora of Onslow Bay, North Carolina, four of which were also dredged from Long Bay, South Carolina. Two new species in the Gigartinales are described, Hypnea volubilis Searles sp. nov. and Petroglossum undulatum Schneider sp. nov. The remaining five taxa are new records for the Carolinas, with two, Sarcodiotheca divaricata Taylor and Rhodymenia divaricata Dawson, also reported for the first time from the Atlantic Coast of North America. Evidence is presented for the synonomy of Sarcodiotheca tenuis Taylor with S. divaricata Taylor. The cystocarpic structure of Rhodymenia divaricata is reported for the first time.
