The Seaweeds of Florida

An invaluable, illustrated reference to the seaweed taxa found in Florida coastal waters

The product of nearly thirty years of research, The Seaweeds of Florida offers an invaluable, illustrated reference to the seaweed taxa found in Florida coastal waters. This volume provides a helpful aid for researchers in Florida as well as the Caribbean and the southeastern United States.

Authors Clinton Dawes and Arthur Mathieson detail the taxonomy, morphology, and cytology, plus the ecology and distribution patterns, of 674 species. In addition, they provide keys to the genera and keys to species within the genera, a glossary of difficult terms, an explanation or derivations of the scientific names, an extensive literature compilation including sources for further information, and line drawings for each species.
