Abstract
Okamura was the first to study Japanese species of Gracilaria, and described 11 species between 1901 and 1936 (Okamura 1936). Yamada (1933, 1938, 1941) followed him and added three new species for Japan. Historically, species were identified mainly on the basis of external features, for example, branching mode, the grade of constriction at the bases of branches, and so on. Subsequently, Ohmi (1958) reviewed Japanese species, introducing Dawson’s system (Dawson 1949) and assigning three species to Gracilariopsis and 13 species to Gracilaria.
