Abstract

Three marine species of Cladophora (Cladophoraceae, Chlorophyta) commonly occurred on the coast of Cheju Island, Cladophora conchopheria Sakai, C. gracilis (Griff.) Kutzing and C. wrightiana Harvey were described morphologically, considering their taxonomic characters. C. conchopheria Sakai, specifically growing on the surface of Lunella coronata, is a very minute plant of 550-990 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in height and has intracuticular adventitious rhizoids borne from the lower portion of the first to fourth segments. C. gracilis occurs on calm habitat and shows a pseudosympodial growth with pectinate branchlets. c. wrightiana always produces protoplasmic protuberances at the node of middle portion of thallus. It grows to 30 cm or more in height and is dark green in subtidal bottom.
