NOTE.—The conspecificity of Asparagopsis sanfordiana
and A. taxiformis was proposed by J. Feldmann and G.
Feldmann (1943:81). Dasya delilei Montagne is a superfluous
and hence illegitimate substitute name (orFucus taxiformis
Delile.

Galaxauraceae is given in the appended Nomenclatural

Galaxaura Lamouroux
Kjellman (1900), using anatomy as a primary criterion,
recognized 62 species of Galaxaura, 47 of which were new.
Certain sections and subsections contained only tetrasporophytes
or only sexual plants. Efforts to match tetrasporophytes
with sexual plants and otherwise to reduce the
number of recognized species have been made by subse-
quent workers, notably Howe, Bc/>rgesen, Chou, and Papenfuss.
The greatest reduction of species is to be found in the
monograph by Papenfuss, Mshigeni, and Chiang (1982).
Many taxonomic decisions incorporated in that paper do
not agree with those of previous workers. In none of these
investigations has static comparative morphology been supported
by culture studies. In a recent paper, Magruder
(1984) determined by culture studies that G. oblongata had
a life cycle involving a small filamentous tetrasporophyte.
Magruder's discovery, while not affecting this catalog directly,
emphasizes the need to broaden the scope of taxonomic
study in Galaxaura. Meanwhile, the taxonomic scheme
of Papenfuss, Mshigeni, and Chiang provides a useful framework.
