Ulva sp.

3.3 Ulva sp. NC 3

The species clade including Ulva sp. NC 3 was unsupported in the tufA tree, but this clade had good to full (BS 91; PP 1.0) support in the rbc L tree. This species was sister to U. californica Wille. It was found in a variety of habitats and locations along the coast ( Figure 5 View Figure 5 ), and morphologically was almost entirely comprised of tubular specimens, save two that had ‘linza -morphotype ’ hollow blade margins ( Table 3, Figure 6H – J View Figure 6 ). These two specimens were collected at different mesohaline sound locations with similar salinities.
