Nitella pseudoflabellata is a species of algae [1] native to southwestern Australia] and New Zealand. [2]
Nitella pseudoflabellata is a species of algae that belongs to the genus Nitella . Its appearance is similar to many other Nitella species.
Nitella pseudoflabellata is mostly located in coastal areas of Australia and New Zealand, although some instances of the species have been recorded in China, the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Thailand and Japan.
It is endemic to freshwater deposits in inland regions and wetlands.
The pseudo- prefix means not genuine/false, while the -flabellata suffix in Latin is an inflection of flabellatus, meaning fan-shaped.
Nitella pseudoflabellata belongs to the Characeae family.
In biology, a subgenus is a taxonomic rank directly below genus.
Macrocystis is a monospecific genus of kelp with all species now synonymous with Macrocystis pyrifera. It is commonly known as giant kelp or bladder kelp. This genus contains the largest of all the Phaeophyceae or brown algae. Macrocystis has pneumatocysts at the base of its blades. Sporophytes are perennial and the individual may live for up to three years; stipes/fronds within a whole individual undergo senescence, where each frond may persist for approximately 100 days. The genus is found widely in subtropical, temperate, and sub-Antarctic oceans of the Southern Hemisphere and in the northeast Pacific from Baja California to Sitka, Alaska. Macrocystis is often a major component of temperate kelp forests.
Characeae is a family of freshwater green algae in the order Charales, commonly known as stoneworts. They are also known as brittleworts or skunkweed, from the fragility of their lime-encrusted stems, and from the foul odor these produce when stepped on.
The parore also known as luderick, black bream, black snapper or blackfish is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a sea chub from the family Kyphosidae which is found in the southwestern Pacific Ocean off Australia and New Zealand. Parore or paraore is the common name in New Zealand but in Australia luderick is preferred.
Aplodactylus arctidens, the marblefish or southern seacarp, is a species of marine ray finned fish, one of the marblefishes belonging to the family Aplodactylidae. It is found in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.
The notchheaded marblefish is a species of marine ray finned fish, one of the marblefishes belonging to the family Aplodactylidae. It is found in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.
Saccostrea glomerata is an oyster species belonging to the family Ostreidae.
William Henry Harvey, FRS FLS was an Irish botanist and phycologist who specialised in algae.
Ripogonum is a genus of flowering plants confined to eastern Australia, New Zealand, and New Guinea. Until recently this genus was included in the family Smilacaceae, and earlier in the family Liliaceae, but it has now been separated as its own family Ripogonaceae.
Gonyaulax is a genus of dinoflagellates with the type species Gonyaulax spinifera Diesing. Gonyaulax belongs to red dinoflagellates and commonly causes red tides. It can produce yesotoxins: for example, strains of Gonyaulax spinifera from New Zealand are yessotoxin producers.
Nitella flexilis, the smooth stonewort, is a freshwater species of characean algae that is used as a model organism for its large cell size and relative ease of cultivation in the laboratory.
