Ericaria selaginoides (syns. Cystoseira tamariscifolia, Carpodesmia tamariscifolia) is a large marine brown algae. [1]
Ericaria selaginoides occurs in the Northeast Atlantic and Western Mediterranean Sea. It forms a species complex with Ericaria amentacea , a similar but caespitose species from the Mediterranean and the Azores. [2]
The glaucophytes, also known as glaucocystophytes or glaucocystids, are a small group of unicellular algae found in freshwater and moist terrestrial environments, less common today than they were during the Proterozoic. The stated number of species in the group varies from about 14 to 26. Together with the red algae (Rhodophyta) and the green algae plus land plants, they form the Archaeplastida.
Cystoseira is a genus of brown algae in the order Fucales.
Peyssonnelia is a genus of thalloid red alga, named after naturalist Jean-André Peyssonnel (1694–1759) It includes the algae commonly known as rumoi-iwanokawa, mayoi-iwanokawa and akase-iwanokawa. Specimens can reach around 20 cm in size. Peyssonnelia produces tetraspores.
The Rivulariaceae are a family of cyanobacteria within the Nostocales in which the filaments (trichomes) are tapered from wider at the base to narrower at the tip.
Pyrenomonas is a genus of cryptomonad.

Bonnemaisonia hamifera is a species of red alga in the family Bonnemaisoniaceae. Originally from the Pacific Ocean, it has been introduced into the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, where it is considered invasive on European coasts. It exists in two phases which, at one time, were thought to be different species; a medium-sized feathery form attached to other seaweeds, and a small tufted form known as Trailliella.
Cystoseira foeniculacea is a species of brown alga in the genus Cystoseira.
Cyanidiophytina is a subdivision of red algae.
Phyllariopsis brevipes is a species of large brown algae, found in the subtidal zone in the Mediterranean Sea. It is the type species of the genus. Unlike other large brown macroalgae, it has a habitat requirement to grow on the living thalli of the crustose red alga Mesophyllum alternans.
Gongolaria is a genus of brown algae in the family Sargassaceae. It was formerly included in Cystoseira, but was recently found not to be closely related to it.
Ericaria is a genus of brown algae in the family Sargassaceae. It was formerly included in Cystoseira, but was recently found not to be closely related to it.
Ericaria amentacea is a large marine brown algae.
Cystoseira pustulata is a species of brown alga in the genus Cystoseira.
Stolonophora brandegeei is a species of marine brown algae in the family Sargassaceae, and the only species presenty recognised in the genus Stolonophora.
