Abstract
Dictyota Lamouroux is a troublesome marine algal genus, as there are few morphological and anatomical differences among species but considerable infraspecific variation. In some tropical areas inhabited by several Dictyota species it may be often difficult to distinguish them from each other. For example van den Hoek (1969), in a study on the algal vegetation of Curaçao, considered Dictyota bartayresii Lamouroux and D. divaricata Lamouroux to be but “extremes” of D. dichotoma (Hudson) Lamouroux.
