First published in 1984, A Catalogue Of South African Green, Brown And Red Marine Algae by marine botanist S.C. Seagrief presents a systematic and annotated listing of the marine macroalgae—green (Chlorophyta), brown (Phaeophyta), and red (Rhodophyta)—recorded along the extensive and ecologically diverse South African coastline. Drawing on decades of fieldwork, herbarium records, and published literature, the work documents over 1,000 species, offering scientific names, synonyms, original publication references, known localities, and collector data.
Intended as a foundational reference for phycologists, taxonomists, marine ecologists, and students of Southern African marine flora, A Catalogue Of South African Green, Brown And Red Marine Algae plays a critical role in biodiversity assessment and environmental monitoring. Its careful classification and nomenclatural notes also make it an indispensable tool for herbarium curators and those involved in marine conservation.
This work forms part of the Memoirs of the Botanical Survey of South Africa series and remains a valuable benchmark in the study of Southern Hemisphere marine botany.
