Abstract:
A preliminary checklist of marine algae from Pulau Jarak, Sembilan Group of Islands
and Pulau Perak in the Straits of Malacca was compiled from two expeditions. The checklist of a total of
66 taxa, comprises one family of Cyanophyta with two genera and six taxa, seven families of Chlorophyta
with 11 genera and 18 taxa, 12 families of Rhodophyta with 20 genera and 39 taxa, and two families of
Phaeophyta with three genera and three taxa. One new record Lyngbya confervoides f. violacea is reported
for the first time for Malaysia. The three islands have a low similarity in marine algal diversity.
