Keys to the genera of marine algae of Taiwan

The following ken were prepared for the use of the students in the National Taiwan University for the identification of marine algae of Taiwan. The genera cited here are only those reported on Taiwan audits offshore islands, so that generic distinctions apply only to species of the local flora. In constructing the keys an effort has been made to avoid using reproductive structures as far as possible. However. it should be mentioned that fragmentary material or juvenile plants are not always identifiable by these keys. In cases where species of a genus are of different shape, the genus appears more than once in the key. No attempts have been made to correct any possible changes of generic names of local species that were cited in Shen and Fan's (1950) and Chiang's (1960, 1962) papers upon which these keys were made.
