Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper, a new species of the Cystoseira complex from Porto Palo di Capo Passero (Sicily, Italy) is described. The species, which shows the same characters as Cystoseira hyblaea Giaccone as described by Giaccone (1986) and Bouafif et al. (2016), from its morpho-anatomical characters, is assigned to the genus Ericaria Stackhouse. Because of “Cystoseira hyblaea” was not validly published name, Ericaria giacconei sp. nov. is here described. The main characteristics of the species are: 1) a caespitose habit; 2) large axes rugged with apices smooth, not prominent; 3) vegetative branches without spinose appendages; 4) primary branches with a cupressoid outline, especially when they are fertile; and 5) receptacles terminal, compact, cylindrical-oval, verrucose, with deciduous spinose appendages. Ericaria giacconei sp. nov. is related to both E. crinita (Duby) Molinari & Guiry and E. barbatula (Kützing) Molinari & Guiry, but it differs from them mainly in the basal system consisting of a robust and compact basal disc and in apex of cauloids smooth and not prominent, never surrounded by spiniform appendages. A critical re-examination of herbarium specimens from Isola delle Correnti (eastern Sicily, Italy) attributed to E. crinita (as C. crinita) demonstrated that they actually belong to our new species.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
