Records of Asian and Western Pacific Marine Algae, Particularly Algae

from Indonesia and the Philippines

WM. RANDOLPH TAYLORl
THIRTY YEARS AGO the marine algal flora of the
Philippines was practically unknown. Records
of the occurrence of several species have ex-
isted, of course, from the time of Blanco
(1837) onward, but they are few in number
and can hardly be accepted as equivalent to
current critical identifications. Strongly pressed
by the late Professor H. H. Bartlett, a devoted
promoter of Philippine botanical exploration
and research, the present writer began the as-
sembly of materials available in the herbaria
in the United States, notably at the University
of California at Berkeley. Of these the collec-
tions of the late Professor W. A. Setchell,
partly determined by him, were an important
part. Much material was collected on request by
correspondents in the Philippines, particularly
by Professors Bartlett and G. T. Velasquez, and
their assistants.
For the identification of this material the
descriptions by Mme. Anna Weber-van Bosse
and her collaborators in the "Siboga" reports
were the best available; so materials from Java
were secured for comparison. Support for the
study of this rich accumulation was not continu-
ous, and other major opportunities with support
came about , and so the writer's personal par-
ticipation in the project languished. The project
was not altogether abandoned, however. A
general account of the Chlorophyceae has ap-
peared (Gilbert, 1942, 1943, 1946, 1947,
1961) , together with a brief outline of the his-
tory of algal work in the area. The Halimedas
were revised in a general study of that genus
(Hillis, 1959), the Padinas similarly (Thivy,
1945, inedit.), the Turbinarias and a few other
genera studied (Taylor, 1961, 1962, 1964,
1966 in press) . Significant publication has
come from the University of the Philippines
(Velasquez, 1952, 1957, and several papers on
Myxophyceae). A number of determinations,
1 University of Mi chigan, Ann Arbor. Manuscript
received April 22, 1965.
particularly in Cbaetomorpba, were originally
made by Professor A. J. Bernatowicz. Likewise,
many specimens collected by Dr. D. P. Abbott
were determined by Dr. I. A. Abbott. The
writer has again been able to devote time to
determining this mater ial, and it is proposed
to give here a supplementary account of Chloro-
phyceae and of Phaeophyceae from localities not
reported earlier. This is not intended to be a
complete list of all species in these groups, for
some of the records published earlier could not
be confirmed.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
For the loan of a very large amount of ma-
terial from the University of California the
writer is deeply indebted to Professor G. F.
Papenfuss, for other materials to the curators at
the New York Botanical Garden, the Farlow
Herbarium, Cambridge, the U. S. National
Museum, the Rijksmuseum, Leiden, the Natur-
historisches Museum, Vienna, the Museum Na-
tionale d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, the British
Museum (Natural History) , London, and the
Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum, Stockholm. Speci-
mens frequently received from Dr. H. M.
Burkill (Botanic Gardens, Singapore) have
been very valuable for comparison. Those from
Dr. D. P. Abbott have extended many records
southward in the Philippines. Dr. H. T. Croas-
dale has kindly provided the Latin descriptions
necessary. Support for the project has come
from the Faculty Research Fund of the Horace
Rackham Graduate School of the University of
Michigan and, lately, from the National Science
Foundation, Washington, D. C.
EXPLANATION OF TREATMENT
Because of the many station records offered here,
an explanati on of the pattern of treatment is in order.
Since a great proport ion of the specimens are in the
herbarium of the University of California at Berkeley,
onl y nonconforming cases are noted . The dates given
are of the 20th century unl ess otherwise stated full y.

Collector's initials may be ascertai ned from the list
given below. Troublesome as it is to establis h a sys-
tem, papers in which locali ties are not treated in any
geographic order are all but useless to the phyto-
geographer. Here stations are cited from the Phil i p-
pines southward and eastward in the northern hemi-
sphere and then from Malaya eastward in the southern.
Islands of archipelagos are generally listed from nort h
to south, provinces and stations clockwise from the
north arou nd them. Great difficulty was met in dealing
with station names from several languages or dialects,
often recorded phonetically. An effort has been made
to secure conformity and proper sequence, using in
par ticular the map of the Philippine Republic issued
by the J. P. Juan Co. of Ermita, Manila (1960), to
some extent the maps of the United States War De-
par tment Corps of Engineers 1: 50,000 series issued
about 1945, and especially the gazetteers of the United
States Board on Geographical Names. Considerably
less satisfaction was achieved wi th respect to Indo-
nesian localit ies.

Plants tufted, 2-7 em tall, not blackening
when dried ; basal cells distinct, without rhiz-
oidal reinforcement; branching dense, the main
axes not persisting, branches below opposite or
3- 4-verticillate, or irregular, those above oppo-
site, pseudod ichotomous or alternate; cells near
the base femur- to club-shaped with swollen
ends , above becoming more cylindrical and in
the ramelli cylindrical to slightly cask-shaped,
the branchlet tips blunt and often a little en-
larged ; near the base the median cell diameter
to 450fA., the cells about 7 diameters long, in
the middle portion of the plant 27Q-310fA. diam,
the cells 4-5 diameters long, and in the ult imate
ramelli 225-360fA. diam, the cells 1.5-7.0 diam-
eters long ; cell walls below very thick (to 70-
90fA. ) and often not collapsing when dried,
but the walls in the ramelli about 7fA. thick.

Among the Philippine Cladophoras from
Berkeley there were several mounts which
seemed to be grouped und er the name C.
prolij era (Roth) Kiitz., a rather improbable
ascription considering the type locality of that
species. Closer examination suggested the pres -
ence of at least two species: one, with rhizoids
heavily covering the axes for three or even more
degrees of branching fr om the base, which
seemed to agree well with C. aoki i Yam., while
another of somewhat different habit lacked
rhizoidal development altogether and was
lighter in color, with heavy-walled lower cells.
From C. aokii the absence of rhizoids and
coarser branches readily distinguish this second
species. From C. prolifera the absence of rhi-
zoids and lack of blackening, with details of
habi t, are sufficient. Some mounts bore the
manuscript name of C. qllisllmbingii, which ap-
pears not to have been published, so it would
seem appropriate to adopt it in recognition of
the merits of the Philippine botanist, Dr.
Eduardo Quisumbing.

exceeding 15 em in height, freely if irregularly
branched, the dried divisions 5-8 mm diam.
The habit is similar to some of the bushy codi-
urns, or sometimes the terminal divisions are
rather crowded and erect. Comparison was made

the Fenix collection were very loosely and ir-
regularly branched, and suggest S. dicbotoma;
others had the habit of S. oaucberii ormis, but
these may not be different species after all.
Comparison was made with Sorong, New
Guinea material leg. Beccari in the British
Museum N.H. herbarium, for which Zanardini
originally intended the name Strongodendron
dicbotomum. In the Tami material the filament
diameter ranged from 55 to 330/!, in that from
Sorong 80-200/!.

parison was made with Poro, New Caledonia
material leg. Grunow in the British Museum
N.H., and in Grunow's herbarium in the
N aturhistori sches Mus eum, Vi enna. All had the
same cushion form, often wi th shor t promi-
nences 0.5- 1.0 cm hi gh on the upper side.
The degree of compactness varied considerably.
The filaments were commonly clavate at the tips,
often irregul arly so and lobed, leading to ir-
regular branching, although the basic branch-
ing was dichotomous. Whereas the filaments in
the general mass were 100-200!! diam, in these
tips they commonly ranged from 150 to 400!!
and, if lobed for forking, to 625!!. Cross-walls
were very irregularly pl aced and were seldom
seen near the tips, often not for distances as
much as 1 cm from the tips, so that branching
and rebranching might occur several times be-
fore a cross-wall intervened.
The writer is reluct ant to follow Papenfuss'
(1 950) rel egati on of these pl ants to Cladopho-
ropsis, not having had field experience wit h
them. So far as he can see, the branch tips of
the erect forms, where the pl ant shape is estab-
lished, are relat ively free from associated sponge
tissue, and the pl ant form does not seem to
vary with the degree of sponge investment. As-
sociation of other green and red algae with
sponges is often met in the tropics, and no
special plant for m appears to result-notably,
indeed, in the case of Cladophor opsis itself, in
Cari bbean wat ers.
Boodl ea Murray & DeToni, 1890
This genus always seems difficult, the species
ill-defined. While other genera, such as Miero-
dietyon, sometimes show boodl eoid prolifera-
tions, it is not these which cause the trouble
but rather tussocks which seem generi cally char-
acteristic but specifically intermediate.

PHILIPPINES. Palawan Pr., Balabac I., Gnat
Reef, Abbott , 4 iii 57 (BISH) . These specimens
were in the form of a small tuft, with several
short, stout, erect stems terminating in groups
of rounded, slightly zonate blades 1- 2 cm broad.
The central blade filaments reached 15.5f! diam.
Those at the surface were 5.5-7.8f! diam, less
densely entangled than those of the West Indian
C. luteofuseus (Crouan) Bprg. This is a most
interesting thing to find in the area, but one
hesitates to describe it as new on so little
material, and material which is possibly
dwarfed.

sidered together with the specimens cited here
in reaching a conception of the Halimeda flora

Codi um Stackhouse, 1797
Codiums of Indonesia have been published
upon by the Gepps (1911) and those of the
Philippines by Gilbert (1947, 1961). Since Dr.
P. C. Silva may be expected to review them in
due time in monographic fashion together with
other western Pacific specimens, probably with
considerable change in species delimitation, no
further treatment is appropriate at this time.
The Gepps recognized 6 species from the Indo-
nesian area and the Sulu Archipelago ; Gilbert
( 1961) recognized 12 from the Philippines, in-
cluding all the Indonesian species except the
very small Borneo Bank species, C. petaloideum
A. & E.S. Gepp.
PHAEOPHYCEAE
To judge by the Siboga expedition reports
this group, with the exception of a very few
genera, is ill-represented in the area from which
PACIFIC SCIENCE, Vol. XX, July 1966
the materials available to me have come. It
seems very improbable that the representation is
adequate, though in truth the variety of Phaeo-
phyceae is not great in the tropics, but it is
probably as complete as that of the other major
groups. In the present case the genus 5argassum,
which appears to be best represented in the col-
lections, has been put aside for lack of authen-
tic material for comparison. A special study has
been made of the genus Turbinaria ( Taylor,
1964, 1966) , and its distri bution recorded in a
far more detailed way than would have been
possible here. The genus Padilla, also frequently
encountered, was studied several years ago by
Dr. Francesca Thivy, and the writer hesitates
to draw heavily on her unpubl ished dissertat ion,
though many of her determinations are in-
corporated. Delicate forms like Ectocarpus were
commonly too ill-preserved for determination,
and in general small types were enti rely un-
represented in the collections.
DICTYOTALES
DICTYOTACEAE
Dietyota Lamouroux, 1809
Materials of Dietyota from this area are rela-
tively scanty, and often seem dwarfed ; in any
case they do not fall readily into distinct species
groups. Plants of the genus are often variable
in form, and require great care in the field to
search out fully developed specimens. One may
assume something less than adequacy in this
respect, since Setchell is the only fully qualified
phycologist whose collections are largely rep-
resented (and even so, chiefly by native assis-
tants) in this report. It is remarkable that this
Pacific area does not appear to have developed
any par ticularly distinctive species of Dictyota.

These are plants which would hitherto have
passed under the name of Padina commersonii
Bory ( 1829:144). The history of this name is
confused . Bory used it for Maur itius material
which he mist akenly identified with Zonaria
pavonia ( L.) C. Ag., var. tent/is C. Agardh
from the Marianas Islands (1 8 24 : 26 3 ) , the
type of which seems actually to have been a
Poeoekiella. Of this Bory app ears not to have
been aware, but thought it a Padina as, of course,
was the parent species (]. G. Agardh 1882 :
119, as Zonaria; Papenfuss 1943 :467, as Po-
eoekiella) . Bory described his plant, but based
it on Z onaria pauonia var. tent/is. Not being able
to use the name tennis because of his own P.
tennis (Bory, 1827:590) , a different thing, he
proposed the new name P. commersonii, citing
Zonaria pauonia var. tennis in synonymy. The
basis of this new name is, then, the type of var.
tennis, and the species name commersonii goes

studying the genus, but has not hitherto pub-

SARGASSACEAE
Sargasssm C. Agardh, 1820
The bulk of available Sargassum material
from this area far exceeds that of any other
genus of Phaeophyceae. Unfortunately, without
prolonged access to authentic materials identifi-
cation of most of it seems impracticable. A f ew
particularly notable specimens, however, are
included here with considerable confidence
respecting their identity.

Tnrbinaria Lamouroux, 1828
This genus has recently been reviewed
(Taylor, 1964, and in pr ess, 1966) and speci-
mens from the sources contributing to this
present pap er are cited there in a more compre-
hensive fashion than is possible here. However,
a few additions are included, since they apply
particularly to the Philippines. It will be seen
358
by the papers menti oned that T . ornata is par-
ticularly common and widespread, ranging from
northeastern Africa to 'Malaya and Taiwan,
south past Queensland perhaps to Tasmania,
and throughout the western Pacific to Hawaii,
so that citation of specimens, particularly from
the Philippines and the Marshall Islands, had
to be restri cted to those adequately delimiting
the range. However, T . decurrens seems more
unusual and is much less common in collections,
though ranging fr om Madagascar, Hainan, and
southern Luzon to the Solomon Islands. One
may expect T . conoides from Kenya and Tanga-
nyika in east Africa to India, Malaya, Luzon,
thence south and east to the Tonga and Samoan
island groups. It is next after T . ornata in fre-
quency of collection. So far T. luzonensis Taylor
is known only from Luzon. Turbinaria conden-
sata Sonder, described from somewher e in the
China Sea, is definitely known from Somalia
and Kenya on the west to Malaya, Luzon,
Guam, and western Austral ia.
