Abstract
The life history and taxonomic position of Rhodymenia palmata (Linnaeus) Greville, one of the commonest red algae in the northern hemisphere, have been a source of considerable speculation. Carpogonial plants and carposporangial plants are unknown although tetrasporangial plants are common and spermatangial plants have been reported on numerous occasions. A parallel situation occurs in the genus Halosaccion Kützing for which carpogonial and carposporangial plants have never been recorded and spermatangial plants are well known only in the species Halosaccion ramentaceum (Linnaeus) J. G. Agardh. It is proposed in this paper to consider the relationship of Rhodymenia palmata to the other genera of the Rhodymeniaceae (Rhodymeniales) particularly Halosaccion and Leptosarca Gepp & Gepp.
