| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | A microscope-based approach to identifying our 100 species of multi-cellular green seaweeds, with lots of high quality colour photographs and photomicrographs. Even though profusely illistrated, this is emphatically not a field guide for the casual holiday phycologist or beach comber. Serious study is required with most determinations taking place under the microscope. |
| Errata, Corrigenda & Comments | P8: Key to genera - couplet 4: include tubular in second alternative. P81: *Ulva* key to species - couplet 5: *U. intestinalis* is fig 38 not 35 (although "F" illustrates the same character). |
| Examine |  Compound Microscope |
| Specimen Preparation | Collect complete specimens as attachment details can be important. Culturing may be required for small species (eg rock/shell borers). Microscope examination of fresh material in water, and maybe iodine to show starch grains around pyrenoids. |
| Identification difficulty | Challenging |
