First Report of the Red Algal Genus <i>Chondria</i> C. Agardh (Rhodomelaceae, Rhodophyta) for the Marine Flora of Bangladesh

Epiphytic algae in mangrove forests contribute to high productivity in these unique mangrove ecosystems. A general survey of mangrove-associated macroalgae was conducted during February−March (dry season) and November−December (wet season) in the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest, Bangl...

A general survey of mangrove-associated macroalgae was conducted during February−March (dry season) and November−December (wet season) in the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest, Bangladesh. Different macroalgae were collected from mangrove pneumatophores, roots, and branches of trees. During this survey, a small and inconspicuous species of <i>Chondria</i> was encountered from the upper-middle of the intertidal zone in the Malancha River (22°5′11.37″ N and 89°13′12.37″ E). External−internal anatomical traits were examined and the sample was identified as <i>Chondria intertexta</i> Silva, a new record for the algal flora of Bangladesh. Furthermore, its geographical distribution and some other ecological notes are also discussed.https://www.mdpi.com/1424-2818/11/6/95algaeepiphytemangrove pneumatophorephycologyseaweedtaxonomy
