Species: [1]
The sea lettuces comprise the genus Ulva, a group of edible green algae that is widely distributed along the coasts of the world's oceans. The type species within the genus Ulva is Ulva lactuca, lactuca being Latin for "lettuce". The genus also includes the species previously classified under the genus Enteromorpha, the former members of which are known under the common name green nori.
Cystoseira is a genus of brown algae in the order Fucales.
Nitella is a genus of charophyte green algae in the family Characeae.
Plocamium is a genus of red algae in the family Plocamiaceae. It contains around 40 species and has a cosmopolitan distribution in temperate seas. Plocamium has erect elliptical thalli that grow up to 50 cm (20 in) in length. They are bright red in color with strongly flattened delicately branching fronds that further divide into two to five smaller branchlets.
Laurencia is a genus of red algae that grow in temperate and tropical shore areas, in littoral to sublittoral habitats, at depths up to 65 m (213 ft).
Desmarestia is a genus of brown algae found worldwide. It is also called acid weed, acidweed, oseille de mer, sea sorrel, ウルシグサ, stacheltang, mermaid's hair, landlady's wig, or gruagach. However, 'sea sorrel' can also specifically refer to Desmarestia viridis. Members of this genus can be either annual or perennial. Annual members of this genus store sulfuric acid in intracellular vacuoles. When exposed to air they release the acid, thereby destroying themselves and nearby seaweeds in the process. They are found in shallow intertidal zones.
Phyllophora is a genus of red algae in the family Phyllophoraceae.
Dictyota is a genus of seaweed in the family Dictyotaceae. Species are predominantly found in tropical and subtropical seas, and are known to contain numerous chemicals (diterpenes) which have potential medicinal value. As at the end of 2017, some 237 different diterpenes had been identified from across the genus.
Phyllariaceae is a family of brown algae in the order Tilopteridales.
Ptilonia(Harvey) J. Agardh, 1863 is a genus of red algae in the family Bonnemaisoniaceae.
Crouania is a genus of red algae (Rhodophyta) in the Callithamniaceae family. The name of the genus honours the Crouan brothers, Pierre-Louis Crouan and Hippolyte-Marie Crouan. It was first described by Jacob Georg Agardh in 1842, and the type species is Crouania attenuata.
Eudesme is a genus of brown algae belonging to the family Chordariaceae.
Cladosiphon is a genus of brown algae belonging to the family Chordariaceae.
