The taxonomy of selected tribes and genera of the Rhodomelaceae: A molecular and anatomical appraisal of selected members of the red algae family Rhodomelaceae (Ceramiales: Rhodophyta). XII, 486 p. gr8vo. Paper bd.
The author studies tribes and genera, all of which have a strong Australasian component. Anatomical and molecular analyses have been undertaken on members of the tribes Amansieae, Pleurostichidieae,Streblocladieae and Sonderelleae, which resulted in the description of two new genera, three new species, and one new tribe as well as the resurrection of two genera and the recombination of ten species. The taxonomic position and validity of the studied tribes and genera has also been established.
