ABSTRACT

Five species of Hypoglossum from the coasts of Korea were described. They were distinguished each other by vegetative morphology as well as reproductive structures. H. barbatum Okamura and H. simulans Wynne, Price et Ballantine were similar in their subalternate branchings but they were clearly different by developmental mode of 3rd-order cell rows. H. simulans is distinguished from H. barbatum as well as from the other three species in that only innermost cells of 2nd-order rows cut off 3rd-order cell rows. H. geminatum Okamura and H. caloglossoides Wynne et Kraft are oppositely branched but the latter is characterized by regular constrictions at branching points. H. minimum Yamada developed simple blades. Among them, H. simulans, H. caloglossoides, and H. minimum are newly recorded from Korean waters.

Key words: Hypoglossum, H. barbatum, H. caloglossoides, H. geminatum, H. minimum, H. simulans
