Schneider C.W., Lane C.E. and Saunders G.W. 2010. Notes on the marine algae of Bermudas. 11. More additions to benthic flora a phylogenetic assessment Halymenia pseudofloresii (Halymeniales, Rhodophyta) from its type locality. Phycologia 49: 154–168. DOI: 10.2216/09-46.1This paper contains first reports Veleroa magneana in Atlantic Ocean, Chylocladia schneideri outside locality Puerto Rico, Verdigellas peltata Cladocephalus luteofuscus shallow water. Also reported are new northern limits distribution for Chondria leptacremon, Dasya antillarum, Laurencia caraibica, Lomentaria corallicola, Myriogramme prostrata Udotea caribaea as well four mentioned. Fertile gametophytes documented Ptilothamnion speluncarum time Molecular evidence shows that pseudofloresii, species with Bermuda, is sister floresii, generitype, present analysis. critically, molecular data establish H. has broad range morphological variation encompassing displayed by true floresii bringing into question latter Bermudian waters.
