Showing Bachelotia fulvescens
-
Comment: In Australia and New Zealand this taxon is considered a synonym of Bachelotia antillarum but Silva et al 1996 Univ Calif Public Bot. 79:571-2 indicate that the taxa are separate in South Africa. Stegenga & Bolton 1997 'Seaweeds of the South African West Coast' indicate that only B. antillarum is found in South Africa. Bolton (pers. comm.) indicates for the book they followed Womersley.
