Abstrakt: Dasya puertoricensis is newly described from subtidal habitats in southwestern Puerto Rico. The new species is characterized by its conspicuously dense, brush-like branch tips, rhizoidal cortication and by its indeterminate adventitious filaments which arise from pseudolateral basal cells. Adventitious monosiphonous laterals are absent. Tetrasporangial stichidia normally possess 6 sporangia per fertile whorl. The cystocarps are sessile with cortical cells at their broadened bases enveloping the bearing branches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
