Popis:	Mauritius and Reunion are part of the Mascarene Islands situated in the southwestern Indian Ocean, c. 800 km east of Madagascar. A total of 44 different Sargassum species and subspecific taxa was listed in the literature for these islands. This was a remarkable number for such isolated and small islands, and was more than have been recorded from Madagascar or other East African countries. The first aim of our study was to revise these species lists using newly collected specimens to provide a reliable and illustrated tool for the identification of the Mauritian and Reunion Sargassum. On the basis of morphological and molecular analyses, a total of six taxa was identified as S. cymosum f. borbonicum, S. obovatum, S. pfeifferae (reinstated), S. polycystum, S. portierianum and S. robillardii (stat. nov.). A seventh taxon, S. scopula, was identified from a herbarium collection but not re-collected. As a result of our taxonomic revision, we concluded that most of the species listed in the literature for both M...
