The genus
Erythroglossum
is characterized by
Phycodrys
-type apical organization,
Polyneura
-type procarp, and the presence of a midrib. We collected an unidentified Delesseriaceaen species from deep water off the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula. This alga resembles
Polyneura japonica
in terms of having broadly flattened thalli with a cylindrical stipe, the presence of a midrib and alternative lateral veins. To confirm the taxonomic status of this entity, we compared the morphological features and
rbc
L sequences among other species of
Erythroglossum
and
P. japonica
. As a result, we assigned the new species,
Erythroglossum hyacinthinum
, to the genus
Erythroglossum
because of the presence of a midrib. This species is characterized by an elliptical to obovate blade with a short cylindrical stipe, a conspicuous midrib and alternate veins, margins with numerous microscopic dentations, di-trichotomously branching, and bulish-violet iridescence. The phylogeny of
rbc
L sequences indicates that
E. hyacinthinum
is definitely a separate entity, but the genera in the tribe Phycodryeae have inconsistent phylogenetic relationships. This is the first study comparing the molecular phylogeny within the genus
Erythroglossum
.
INTRODUCTION
The genus
Erythroglossum
was established by
Agardh (1898)
based on the vegetative characteristics such as marginal ramifications and angular-rounded cell shape, and he transferred five species of
Delesseria
(e.g.,
D. schousboei
J. Agardh,
D. balearica
J. J. Rodríguez,
D. woodii
J. Agardh,
D. bipinnatifida
Montagne, and
D. californica
J. Agardh) to the genus
Erythroglossum
. Later,
Kylin (1924)
designated
E. schousboei
(J. Agardh) J. Agardh as the lectotype species of
Erythroglossum
, and he established another genus
Branchioglossum
for
E. woodii
(J. Agardh) J. Agardh (
Wynne 1983
).
Mikami (1979)
reported that
E. bipinnatifidum
(Montagne) J. Agardh also has the same characteristics as
Branchioglossum
.
Wynne (1983)
agreed with Mikami and made the new combination,
Branchioglossum bipinnatifidum
(Montagne) M. J. Wynne. A total of 12 species of the genus
Erythroglossum
are currently accepted world-wide, including the original three species, which were first transferred from
Delesseria
to
Erythroglossum
by
Agardh (1898)
(
Guiry and Guiry 2013
).
Kylin (1924)
divided the family Delesseriaceae into 11 groups, which were assigned to two subfamilies (e.g., Delesserioideae and Nitophylloideae) on the basis of vegetative and reproductive structures. He additionally assigned the genus
Erythroglossum
to his
Phycodrys
group of the subfamily Nitophylloideae.
Wynne (2001)
proposed 23 tribes under two subfamilies, and he placed the genus
Erythroglossum
within the tribe Phycodryeae (
Lin et al. 2001
). Recently,
Lin et al. (2001)
established the third subfamily as Phycodryoideae, based on molecular analysis including large subunit ribosomal DNA and
rbc
L sequence data. They assigned the four tribes Phycodryeae, Myriogrammeae, Schizoserideae, and Cryptopleureae to the subfamily Phycodryoideae: however, they did not test any species of
Erythroglossum
.
In the tribe Phycodryeae (
Wynne 2001
), there are two groups with different procarp development: 1)
Phycodrys
-type having one carpogonial branch with two sterile groups, and 2)
Polyneura
-type having two carpogonial branches with one sterile group. Five genera including
Erythroglossum
,
Polyneura
Kylin,
Sorella
Hollenberg,
Sorellocolax
Yoshida & Mikami, and
Womersleya
Papenfuss are known to have the
Polyneura
-type procarp (
Yoshida and Mikami 1991
,
1996
,
1997
,
Maggs and Hommersand 1993
,
Kim and Nam 1994
,
Lin and Kraft 1996
,
Womersley 2003
,
Womersley 2003
).
Erythroglossum
is distinguished from
Sorella
by tetrasporangial position (
Hollenberg 1943
,
Yoshida and Mikami 1991
), from
Womersleya
by the presence of a midrib or vein (
Lin and Kraft 1996
), and
Polyneura
by the presence of a midrib (
Maggs and Hommersand 1993
). The genus
Sorellocolax
is not comparable to
Erythroglossum
in terms of size or their host (
Yoshida and Mikami 1996
). In
Erythroglossum
, morphological features such as thallus habit, blade shape, structure and branching, and veins have been used for separating species (
Maggs and Hommersand 1993
,
Yoshida and Mikami 1997
,
Womersley 2003
). Recently,
rbc
L sequence data have been used for comparing the taxonomic position among the species of the family Delesseriaceae (
Lin et al. 2001
,
Lin and Nelson 2010
,
Kim and Kang 2011
).
Three species of
Erythroglossum
, namely
E. minimum
Okamura,
E. pinnatum
Okamura, and
E. latum
Yoshida & Mikami, are currently known to occur in the northwestern Pacific region, and two of these species (
E. minimum
and
E. pinnatum
) are in the Korean coast (
Guiry and Guiry 2013
). The aims of this study are to compare the morphological features of the new species and other
Erythroglossum
species and to investigate the phylogenetic relationships in the tribe Phycodryeae based on the analysis of
rbc
L gene. To compare the molecular data, we collected two species (
E. minimum
and
E. pinnatum
) of
Erythroglossum
and
Polyneura japonica
from Korea and Japan. Unfortunately, we could not collect
E. latum
. This is the first study comparing molecular data within the genus
Erythroglossum
.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Specimens were collected from 15 localities of the Korean coast and two localities of the coast of Japan, from the intertidal and subtidal (
Table1
). Field-collected samples were put into an icebox with seawater and an icepack, and transported to the laboratory. The samples for DNA extraction were each assigned a voucher number, and a small part of the thallus was detached for making silica-gel dried tissue samples. The major part of the thallus was made into a pressed specimen and was deposited in the Herbarium of Jeju National University (JNUB), Jeju, and in the National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR), Incheon, Korea. Samples for morphological observations were fixed in 5% formalin / seawater. Sections for microscopic examination were made by using a freezing microtome (NK-101-II; Nippon Optical Works Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). For staining, 1% aqueous aniline blue acidified with a drop of 1% HCl was used. The stained sections were mounted in 30% Karo corn syrup. Photomicrographs were taken using a QImaging 1394 camera (QImaging, Surrey, BC, Canada) attached to a BX50 microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). For comparing molecular data, we used 25
Erythroglossum
samples containing the new species from Korea, four
E. pinnatum
samples from Japan, five
Polyneura
samples from Korea, and 27
rbc
L sequence data from the tribe Phycodryeae and Myriogrammeae (used as an outgroup) from previous studies.
For the extraction of total DNA from the silica-gel dried specimens, we used the same methods and primers as
Kang and Kim (2013)
. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were purified using the AccuPrep PCR Purification Kit (Bioneer, Daejeon, Korea) and were sequenced commercially (Macrogen, Seoul, Korea). Electropherogram outputs from each sample were edited using Chromas version 1.45 (
McCarthy 1996
). The total
rbc
L sequence was organized using the multiple-sequence editing program BioEdit (
Hall 1999
) and aligned visually (
Kang and Kim 2013
). None of the alignments posed a problem, as no gaps were observed.
Eleven
rbc
L sequences of the new species were aligned with 43 sequences of other species belonging to the tribe Phycodryeae, and seven species of Myriogrammeae were used as an outgroup. Maximum likelihood (ML) analyses were produced using RAxML (
Stamatakis 2006
) with the GTR +
Г
evolutionary model. We used 200 independent tree inferences by the -# option with default –I (automatically optimized SPR rearrangement) and –c (25 distinct rate categories) options of the program to identify the best tree. To generate bootstrap values we used the same program with the same settings for 1,000 replications (
Kang and Kim 2013
).

Morphology
. Thalli are erect, broadly lobed, shortly stipitate, growing up to 3-6 cm high, 2.5 cm wide in the broadest portion of the lobes, and attached by a discoid holdfast (
Fig. 1A
-
C
&
E
). The blades are at first simple and elliptical to obovate in outline, and later divided ditrichotomously. Each lobe has an elliptical to obovate outline with a round apex (
Fig. 1A
-
C
). The margins of the blades are beset with microscopic dentations (
Fig. 1D
). The blades are mostly monostromatic, except for the midrib and lateral veins. The midrib is connected with a stipe, which is conspicuous except near the apical portion of the blade. Lateral veins divide alternately or dichotomously from the midrib (
Fig. 1A
,
B
,
E
&
F
). Microscopic veins or anastomosing nerves are absent. The basis of stipe produces creeping cylindrical branches, from which additional thalli are generated. The stipe is cylindrical in the basal part and is compressed near the starting point of the blade wing. Young blades irregularly initiate from the stipes (
Fig. 1E
-
G
). In the cross-section views, the veins are composed of large roundish cells, which are arranged side by side, and are located in the center of the branch with several cortical layers. The numbers of cortical cell layers decrease toward the apical part of veins (
Fig. 1H
-
J
).
Fig. 1K
shows the apical organization: the growth of thalli is initiated by an apical cell, which divides transversely generating the primary cell row. The cells produced by the transverse division of an apical cell are divided longitudinally to form second-order cell rows laterally. After producing second-order cell rows, certain cells of the primary cell row divide transversely, a process which is termed intercalary division, and also divide longitudinally. The second-cell rows reach the thallus margin, and some continue growth to develop microscopic dentations from the blade margin. The third-order cell rows are mostly cut off abaxially from the second-order cell rows, occasionally adaxially. Transverse and longitudinal intercalary cell divisions are frequent in the primary cell row and higher order cell rows.

Scale bars represent: A, 2 cm; B & D, 500 μm; E & F, 1,000 μm; G-J, 200 μm; K, 20 μm.
Gametophytes are dioecious. Procarps are scattered between the midrib and the blade margin in median to upper parts of blades, consisting of a supporting cell, a 7-8 celled sterile group, and two 4-celled carpogonial branches (
Fig. 2A
-
C
). Mature cystocarps are hemispherical and 500-700 μm in diameter, more swollen on the ostiolate side of blade, and composed of a large branched Hetfusion cell generating numerous radiate gonimoblast filaments, 2-4 chains of ovoid to pyriform carposporangia terminating each gonimoblast filament, and 5-7 cells thick pericarp (
Fig. 2D
). Spermatangial sori are produced between the midrib and blade margin in the upper parts of the blades, roundish to elliptical at first and later expand and become irregular in shape, consisting of a layer of central cells, two layers (each layer on opposite sides of central cells) of quadrangular spermatangial mother cells, which bearing elongate spermatangia (
Fig. 2H
-
G
). Tetrasporangial sori are scattered between veins and blade margin in median to upper parts of blades, circular at first and adjacent sori becoming coalescent as they expand, consisting of two layers of tetrasporangia. Mature tetrasporangia are spherical, 400-500 μm in diameter and divide tetrahedrally (

Molecular analysis.
We determined a total of 61
rbc
L sequence data: 25
Erythroglossum
samples containing the new species from Korea, four
E. pinnatum
samples from Japan, five
Polyneura
samples from Korea, and 27
rbc
L from the tribe Phycodryeae as putative relatives, and the tribe Myriogrammeae as an outgroup. We aligned 1187 nucleotide base pairs of
rbc
L gene, and of all sites, 383 (32.2%) were variable and 270 (22.7%) were phylogenetically informative. Eleven specimens of
E. hyacinthinum
from seven sites in Korea formed a clade with 0-0.2% divergence within the clade.
E. hyacinthinum
showed 2.7- 3.3% divergence from other
Erythroglossum
species, and 1.8-2.0% divergence from
Polyneura japonica
.
In the phylogenetic tree (
Fig. 3
), the clade containing
Erythroglossum
spp.,
P. japonica
, and
P. latissima
was clearly separated from the other species of the tribe Phycodryeae, and strongly supported monophyly by the 100% ML bootstrap value. The clade of
E. hyacinthinum
formed a sister clade with
P. japonica
in a 70% bootstrap value. However, the
Polyneura
-type procarpic species (i.e.,
Erythroglossum
spp.,
P. japonica
,
P. latissima
,
P. bonnemaisonii
, and
Womersleya monanthos
) were not monophyletic. In contrast, the
Phycodrys
-type procarpic species (i.e.,
Phycodrys
,
Nienburgia
,
Heterodoxia
, and
Hymenenopsis
) were monophyletic with low bootstrap support (69%).
Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree (log likelihood = -7,719.609264) for the genus Erythroglossum and putative relatives derived from plastid-encoded rbcL sequence data. The bootstrap values (1,000 replicates) are shown above branches. Scale bar represents: substitution per site.
DISCUSSION
Our data clearly indicates that we have collected a new species of
Erythroglossum
in Korea,
E. hyacinthinum
. This species does not match any other species presently described. In the tribe Phycodryeae, the five genera
Erythroglossum
,
Polyneura
,
Sorella
,
Sorellocolax
, and
Womersleya
are known to have procarp consisting of a pair of carpogonial branches and one sterile-cell group (
Lin and Kraft 1996
,
Yoshida and Mikami 1996
). The diagnostic morphological characteristics among the five genera are as follows: 1) the presence of midrib or midveins, and the marginal position of tetrasporangial sori for
Erythroglossum
; 2) presence of macroscopic midveins, and median position of tetrasporangial sori for
Sorella
; 3) midrib absent, presence of macroscopic and microscopic anastomosing nerves, and inter nerves position of tetrasporangial sori for
Polyneura
; 4) lack of microscopic and macroscopic veins, and growth by transversely dividing marginal apical cells, with the later formation of a continuous marginal meristem for
Womersleya
; 5) very small stellate and hemiparasitic thalli on the genus
Sorella
for
Sorellocolax
(
Hollenberg 1943
,
Maggs and Hommersand 1993
,
Yoshida and Mikami 1996
,
Womersley 2003
). The diagnostic characters of the genus
Erythroglossum
are entirely satisfied by morphology of our new species.
In the genus
Erythroglossum
, the following diagnostic characters for identification at the species level have been used: habit of thallus, branching patterns, and veins and blade structures (
Maggs and Hommersand 1993
,
Yoshida and Mikami 1997
,
Womersley 2003
). In observations of the morphological features,
E. hyacinthinum
is clearly separated from other species of
Erythroglossum
from the northwestern Pacific Ocean (
Table 1
): in terms of thallus size from
E. minimum
(3-6 cm high and 1.5-2.5 cm width vs. 1-2.5 cm high and 1-2 mm width), branching patterns from
E. pinnatum
(di-trichotomous vs. 2-3 times pinnate manner), and blade structures from
E. latum
(mostly monostromatic vs. mostly polystromatic). This new species more closely resembles
Polyneura japonica
rather than other
Erythroglossum
species in terms of discoid holdfast, cylindrical stipe, di-trichotomous branching, presence of midrib and lateral veins, and blade margins with fine teeth, but differs in blade structure (mostly monostromatic vs. mostly polystromatic), iridescence (bulish-violet vs. none), and shapes (elliptical to obovate vs. broadly linear) (
Table 2
). Upon first observation of
E. hyacinthinum
at 30 m depth, we were very confused as to its taxonomic status due to the extensive morphological similarities with
P. japonica
. However, we assigned the new species to the genus
Erythroglossum
because the morphological features (i.e., presence of midrib and lateral veins, marginal position of tetrasporangial sori) are more in agreement with the genus
Erythroglossum
than
Polyneura
(
Maggs and Hommersand 1993
).

P. japonica
was originally described by Yamada as
Hetfusion eronema japonica
in 1930, and was then transferred to the genus
Nienburgia
in 1935 by Kylin (
Yamada 1930
,
Mikami 1973
). Later,
Mikami (1973)
confirmed that this species had
Phycodrys
-type apical organization and
Polyneura
-type procarp. At that time, Mikami was aware that the specimens had both midrib and lateral veins; however, he transferred the species to the genus
Polyneura
citing the presence of a midrib in
Polyneura gmelinii
(J. V. Lamouroux) Kylin. In Korea,
Kim and Nam (1994)
mentioned the possibility of establishing a new taxonomic group for
P. japonica
and
P. gmelinii
because these species have a midrib, lateral veins, and distinctive apical organization differently other species of
Polyneura
. However,
P. gmelinii
is currently treated as a taxonomic synonym of
Erythroglossum laciniatum
(Lightfoot) C. A. Maggs & Hommersand (
Maggs and Hommersand 1993
). The results of our molecular analyses demonstrate the possibility that
P. japonica
is more closely related with the genus
Erythroglossum
than
Polyneura
(
Fig. 3
). To fully resolve this issue, we need more morphological and molecular evidence from other taxonomic groups, including the type species of each genus,
Erythroglossum
,
Polyneura
, and
Sorella
.
In conclusion, we collected a new species that has similar morphological features with
P. japonica
. To confirm the taxonomic position of that species, we collected other species of the tribe Phycodryeae and performed morphological and molecular analyses. As the result, we identified a new species,
E. hyacinthinum
sp. nov. In addition, our molecular phylogenetic results highlight the problems of taxonomic position in the genera of the tribe Phycodryeae, namely showing the polyphyletic taxon among
Polyneura
-type procarp group.
