Abstract
Two species of brown algae (Phaeophyceae), Bachelotia antilarum (Grunow) Gerloff and Dictyota humifusa Hornig, Schnetter & Coppejans, are reported for the first time for the Archipelago of San Andres, Old Providence and Sainte Cataline, part of the International Biosphere Reserve Seaflower .
Highlights
Benthic marine algae of the Archipelago of San Andres, Old Providence and Sainte Cataline, Colombia, have been poorly documented to date, primarily due to a paucity of floristic studies in the area
In 2003, Díaz-Pulido and DíazRuiz listed a total of 201 species of marine algae, well below the number of species of other regions of Colombia
During a collecting trip to Providencia and Santa Catalina Islands in 2009, we observed two species of brown algae, which have not been reported for the Archipelago before: Bachelotia antillarum (Grunow) Gerloff 1959 and Dictyota humifusa Hörnig, Schnetter et Coppejans 1992
Summary
Benthic marine algae of the Archipelago of San Andres, Old Providence and Sainte Cataline, Colombia, have been poorly documented to date, primarily due to a paucity of floristic studies in the area.
