Abstract:
The only fertile specimen of the red algal genus Palmaria (Palmariales, Palmariaceae) was found
at the North Kuril Islands (Atlasov Island). The specimen bore spermatangia, and its morphological and ana
tomical examination showed that it differed from the all currently known species of the genus and belonged
to a new species; the Palmaria integrifolia Selivanova et Zhigadlova, sp. nov was proposed. Its description,
illustrations, and comparison with other representatives of the family Palmariceae inhabiting waters at the
Pacific coast of Russia are given in the article. The genus Palmaria has been shown to have seven species in
this area, including the new one.
