Preface
Three orders, the Corallinales, Hapalidiales, and Sporolithales, were recognized in
thisvolume,subordinatingtoCorallinophycidae,Florideophyceae,Rhodophyta.
The coralline algae are a specialized group of plants, because their cell walls
containalargeamountofcalcium carbonate,givingrise totheirveryhardtexture.
Corallinealgaearedistributedallovertheworld,ofwhichsomespeciesgrowinthe
intertidal zone, some dominating the upper subtidal zone, and some others with
distributionindeeperpartsoftheoceanthanotherbenthicmacroalgae.
During the early years, pilot studies of coralline algae of China were mostly
reported in the keys of regional algal species, e.g., Ariga, K. 1919, Collins, F. S.,
1919, Chiao, C. Y., 1933, Tseng, C. K. and Li, L. C., 1935, Tseng, C. K., 1936,
Okamura, 1936, Shen, Y. F. and Fan, K. C., 1950, Tseng, C. K. and Chang, J. F.
1962,andLee,K.Y.,1965.ZhouJinhuaandZhangDeruiconductedasystematic
studyontheChinesecorallinealgaeduring1978-1989,especiallyonthespecimens
from Xisha Is., and published one new species. Xia Bangmei and her colleagues
systematically studied the specimens of coralline algae deposited in the Marine
Biological Museum, Chinese Academy of Sciences (AST), and published the
Chinese version of “Flora Algarum Marinarum Sinicarum Tomus II Rhodophyta
No.IVCorallinales”in2013.SystematicsofCorallinalesoftheChineseversionwas
accordingtoAdeyandJohansen(1972),whichincluded1order,2families,6sub-
families,17genera,55species,and5forms.
The Englishversioncompilation saw atotalof3 orders,8 families, 10 subfam-
ilies,18genera,53species,and5formsofcorallineredalgaefromChina,ofwhich
the systematics was revised mainly according to the latest system in Algaebase.
Terminologies used for describing the anatomy, along with illustrations, were
elucidated in Adey and Johansen (1972), Woelkerling (1988), Chamberlain
(1990),andrecentliteratures.
