Abstract
The occurrence of Fosliella limitata and F. lejolisii at Bembridge, Isle of Wight is reported. F. limitata is newly recorded for Britain whilst F. lejolisii has been found only rarely since disease struck Zostera in the early 1930s. The two epiphytes both grow on Zostera; F. limitata also grows on large brown and red algae. Their vegetative and reproductive structures are described and illustrated and information given regarding their seasonal occurrence from May 1975 to April 1976. Previous records of both species are discussed and a table is given summarizing the differences between the species.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
