3 Identification of species RT0817 was accepted as either Gelidium corneum or its synonym G. sesquipedale. Gelidium is the most speciose genus in the family Gelidiaceae that currently includes 134 species (Boo et al, 2014 and Guiry and Guiry, 2013). Its species have been primarily described and characterised on the basis of external morphology which is quite variable within the group. In addition many of these names are based on a few herbarium specimens barely representing the range of morphological variation of the species. Therefore Gelidium has become one of the most nomenclaturally and taxonomically confused genera of the Rhodophyta (Santelices, 1988). European species of Gelidium have been especially problematic. Feldmann & Hamel (1936) in their monograph of the genus in Europe recognized ten species, each often containing two or more varieties. The most recent treatment of Gelidium in Great Britain (Dixon & Irvine 1977), suggested that most species represented environmental variants and combined five of Feldmann & Hamel's species into two species aggregates, G. latifolium (Greville) Bornet et Thuret and G. pusillurn (Stackhouse) Le Jolis (Waterman and Rueness, 1994). With this is mind it has been decided that since there can be no conclusive evidence to determine the exact identification of Species 17 that both Gelidium corneum (sesquipedale) and Gelidium pulchellum shall be accepted.

7 Detailed breakdown of specimen identifications RT0801 Desmarestia viridis (Figure 2a) Six generic and eight specific differences recorded: Labs 10 and 21 identified as D. aculeata (Figure 2b) (this has regular opposite branching and is generally less densely branched). Lab 14 identified as Gracilaria gracilis and Lab 03c identified as Graciliaria verrucosa (Figures 2c and 2d) (these are Rhodophyta species and therefore red in colour, they are also much more coarsely branched with a thicker frond diameter and fewer short lateral branches). Fig. 2a. Desmarestia viridis (RT0801) Fig. 2b. Desmarestia aculeata Labs 03b and 03d identified as Rhodomela confervoides (Figure 2e) (this is also a Rhodophyta species which has much shorter, denser branching close to the main axis appearing bushier and coarser). Lab 31a identified as Dictyosiphon foeniculaceus (Figure 2f) (this has a less distinct main axis and lacks the multiple feathery lateral branches). And lab 31b identified as Chordaria flagelliformis (Figure 2g) (this is darker in colour and has far fewer lateral branches which also tend to be thicker in diameter). It is also worth noting that D. viridis can be highly variable when young though. Lab 12 incorrectly spelt the species name. Fig. 2c. Gracilaria gracilis Fig. 2d. Gracilaria verrucosa Fig. 2e.

Elachista flaccida (RT0804) Three generic and three specific difference: Lab 14 identified as Sphacelaria cirrosa (Figure 5b) (this species is not uniseriate throughout as with Elachista and consistently ends in a large apical cell not found in Elachista sp.). Lab 21 identified as Erythrotrichia carnea (Figure 5c) (this is a Rhodophyta species and is red in colour with a stellate chloroplast). Lab 31b identified to Family level only, Chordariacea. Fig. 5b.

Lab 14 identified as Helminthora divaricata (Figure 6b and c) (this is a Rhodophyta species, it is much more densely clothed in lateral branches with a microscopic structure consisting of highly branched filaments). Lab 21 identified as Dudresnaya verticillata (Figure 6d) (this is also a Rhodophyta species similar Helminthora which is densely clothed in highly branched filaments often giving a slightly banded and fluffy appearance). Lab 31a identified as Chordaria flagelliformis (Figure 6e) (this has coarser, long, whip like, solid fronds and less gelatinous in appearance). Fig. 6b. Helminthora divaricata. Fig. 6c.

O. hybrida with terete frond RT0811 Asperococcus fistulosus (Figure 12a) No generic and one specific difference recorded: Lab 03b identified as A. compressus (Figure 12b) (this species has a much broader and compressed frond and is rare in the British Isles and generally only found in the south west, Jersey and the Orkney Islands).

12 RT0812 Ceramium gaditanum (Figure 13) No generic and six specific differences recorded: Lab 31b only identified to genus level. Labs 14 and 10 identified as C. virgatum and labs 03b, 03d and 21 identified as C. nodulosum which is a synonym of C. virgatum (this species lacks the sparse multicellular spines of C. gaditanum as seen in figure 13). Fig. 13. Ceramium gaditanum (RT0812) RT0813 Laminaria hyperborea (Figure 14a) No generic and no specific differences recorded. Fig. 14a. Laminaria hyperborea (RT0813) RT0814 Boergenseniella thyoides (Figure 15a) Two generic and eleven specific differences recorded: Labs 14 and 03e identified as B. fructiculosa (Figure 15b) (which branches at an angle of >60 o compared with the narrow angle (<30 o ) B. thyoides). Labs 10, 03a, 03b, 03c, 03d, 21, 31a, 31b and 12 identified as (this is a flatter, broader plant and lacks the in-rolled or curved apices of B. thyoides). Fig. 15a.

Nemalion helminthoides RT0816 Petalonia fascia (Figure 17a) Seven generic and seven specific differences recorded: Labs 03a, 03b, and 03d identified as Punctaria plantaginea (Figure 17b) (morphologically this species is incredibly similar but has not been previously recorded within the given location of collection). Lab 03c identified as Punctaria latifolia (This species is located sublittorally and not in mid and upper shore pools where the sample was located). Labs 31a and 31b identified as Saccharina latissima (figure 17d) (this is a large strap like kelp species with a distinct ruffled margin). Lab 12 identified as Asperococcus compressus (this species is considered rare in the British Isles and generally only found in the south west, Jersey and the Orkney Islands and not in Northumberland where the sample was located). Fig. 17a. Petalonia fascia Fig. 17b. Saccharina latissima
14 RT0817 Gelidium corneum (sesquipedale) (Figure 18a) Six generic and nine specific differences: Labs 03b and 03c identified as G. pulchellum (this has been accepted as a correct identification). Lab 03d identified as G. latifolium/spinosum (Figure 18b) (This species has a more pronounced flattened and broader main axis). Lab 14 identified as Chondria dasyphylla (Figure 18c) (this species consists of a cylindrical main axis with spiralled branching, G. corneum is flattened with branching in a single plane). Labs 21, 31a, 31b and 12 identified as Pterocladiella (Pterocladia) capillacea (Figure 18d) (this species is more regular and pyramidal in outline). Fig. 18a.

15 RT0819 Ulothrix flacca (Figure 20) One generic and eight specific differences recorded: Lab 31b identified to genus level only (identification is required to species for RT exercises). Labs 03a, 03b, 03c, 03d and 21 identified as U. speciosa (Figure 20b) (this species has a much wider filament width of 30-70um compared with the average width of U. flacca which is 14-32um. U. speciosa also has a smooth wall surface unlike the rough particle embedded surface that can be seen in U. flacca species). Lab 14 identified as U. implexa (Figure 20c) (this has a very thin cell wall and measures between um wide). Lab 31a identified as Urospora penicilliformis (Figure 20d) (the cells of Urospora sp. are 25-80um wide and cylindrical in shape with a dense chloroplast existing as a perforated plate). Fig. 20a.
