NO. 1 DAWSON: MARINE RED ALGAE OF PACIFIC MEXICO 79
Type: Holotype is Loomis 5330, July 22, 1934, in the private
collection of Mrs. Nina Loomis, 1324 North Ogden Ave., Hollywood,
California. Isotype preparations are on slides 1187-1188 in HAHF.
Type locality: In beach drift, Anaheim Landing, Orange County, Calif.
Mexican distribution : Pacific Baja Calif.—D. 264, 8 km. south
of Punta Descanso, Jan.; D. 10394, Punta San Eugenio, Nov.
The Mexican plants compare favorably in all essentials with the type
of the species. The characters which differentiate it from Pterocladia
pyramidale are to be found in the basal cystocarps, the linear, extensive
tetrasporangial and antheridial sori, and in the near-unity ratio of sexual
to asexual plants. Several characters considered distinctive by Loomis,
namely, the relative thallus size, color, number of cortical layers, and
the size and shape of medullary rhizoidal filaments, do not seem to hold
good when compared in series with P. pyramidale.
