We examined the morphology of thalli previously identified as G. bursapastoris in Korea and Japan, and analyzed the plastid rbcL gene sequences of Korean and Japanese samples, and a G. parvispora sample from Hawaii. The morphological and sequence data both indicate identity between the taxon from Korea/Japan and G. parvispora from Hawaii, but significant differences exist between G. parvispora and G. bursa-pastoris from Europe. We propose that the thalli from Korea and Japan should be renamed G. parvispora. The rbcL tree grouped G. parvispora and G. damaecornis together, as a sister to the G. tikvahiae/G. isabellana/G. cuneifolia clade. This is the first recorded occurrence of G. parvispora outside Hawaii.}, pages = {231--237}, title = {Gracilaria parvispora is the correct name of the species known as G. bursa-pastoris in Korea and Japan}, volume = {57}, year = {2008}, yomi = {テラダ, リュウタ} }
