PHILIPPINE DISTRIBUTION.—BATANES. LUZON: Cagayan
(incl. Babuyan Is.), Ilocos Norte, Pangasinan, Bataan, Pampanga,
Bulacan, Rizal, Manila, Cavite, Batangas, Quezon,
Albay (Batan I.), MINDORO: Occidental Mindoro, Oriental
Mindoro. SAMAR: Western Samar, Eastern Samar. LEYTE
(Biliran I.), PANAY: Aklan. NEGROS: Negros Oriental, CEBU
(incl. Mactan I.), SIQUIJOR. MINDANAO: Zamboanga. PALA­
WAN, SULU.
NOTE.—The synonymy was proposed by Papenfuss
(1950:195). Fucus confervoides Linnaeus, the intended basionym
of Gracilaria confervoides (and other combinations),
is a later homonym of F. confervoides Hudson (1762:474)
and hence not priorable. Ceramium confervoides Wiggers is
treated as a nomen novum in accordance with Article 72,
Note 1, of the ICBN. Although the Tagalog word "gulaman"
is applied to various red algae that are rich in hydrocolloids,
Blanco's description of F. gulaman appears to apply,
at least in part, to the stringy Gracilaria currently called
G. confervoides or G. verrucosa. Martens (1868:45-46)
thought that it applied to two species, Sphaerococcus gelatinus
(= Eucheuma gelatinum) and 5. lichenoides (= Gracilaria
edulis), while Seale (1911:309) and Quisumbing
(1951:1007) thought that it applied to a species of Agardhiella.
In the absence of authentic specimens, a definitive
placement is impossible.
Gracilaria vieillardii P.C. Silva, new name
Sphaerococcus denticulatus Kutzing, 1869:19, pi. 51: figs, e-g [type locality:
New Caledonia].
Gracilaria denticulata (Kutzing) Weber-van Bosse, 1928:432 [replaced
name].—Cordero, 1976c:10; 1977a: 128, fig. 109; 1978a:36.
PHILIPPINE DISTRIBUTION . —BATANES .
NOTE.—Gracilaria vieillardii is proposed as a substitute
name for G. denticulata (Kutzing) Weber-van Bosse, a later
homonym of G. denticulata Schmitz ex Mazza (1907:138).
Polycavernosa Chang and Xia
Polycavernosa debilis (Forsskal) Fredericq and J. Norris
Fucus debilis Forsskal, 1775:191 [type locality: Mokha, Yemen].
Gracilaria debilis (Forsskal) B^rgesen, 1932:7.—Taylor, 1977b: 13.
Polycavernosa debilis (Forsskal) Fredericq and J. Norris, 1985:152.
PHILIPPINE DISTRIBUTION.—MINDANAO: Zamboanga.
NOTE.—Xia and Abbott (1985) support the segregation
of Polycavernosa from Gracilaria on the basis of the origin
of the compound spermatangial conceptacles from inner or
medullary cells and the indirect origin of the gonimoblast
from the fusion cell.
