Comoro Islands, Johannes Island, J. M. Hildebrandt No. 1889 (L), designated by Hillis-Colinvaux (1975); isotype material BM, C, PC, NY. The epithet brevicaulis appears on some of this material, and its use cannot be readily explained for macroscopically and microscopically the specimens so named are the same as renschii. The taxon H. renschii is distinct from H. brevicaulis from the Bahamas described by Kiitzing (1858). Some sheets are also labelled with the orthographic variant H. reinshcii. Habitat. Growing in outer reef pools under moderate wave wash, where it forms dense masses (Womersley and Bailey, 1970; Isaac, 1971). Geographic distribution. Eastern Indian Ocean; western Pacific both north and south, south-eastern Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Hillis-Colinvaux, Liewellya.
