Abstract:
Results of taxonomic revision and descriptions of
Constantinea
species of the algal flora of the Russian
Far East are presented. In addition to the previously recorded species of
Constantinea, C. rosa-marina
(Gmel.) Post. et Rupr. and
C. subulifera
Setch., a North American species,
C. simplex
Setch., occurs in this
region.
C. sitchensis
Post. et Rupr., which was thought to be a doubtful species, is clearly distinct from the other
representatives of
Constantinea
and occurs widely in the Far-Eastern seas of Russia. The lifespan and reproductive
period of the species of this genus in coastal waters of the Kamchatka Peninsula were determined. A
key to the
Constantinea
species and illustrations of their external and internal structure are provided.
