Abstract

The female fertile samples of the red alga Pleuroblepharidella japonica (Okamura) M.J. Wynne from coastal waters of Matua Islet (Kurile Islands) have been found for the first time. The carposporophyte is described and illustrated; some features of development of the alga in this habitat are discussed.
