AB In the past, large, foliose and unbranched Halymenia-like plants from Europe were often identified as ‘Halymenia latifolia’,however recent taxonomic studies have shown that ‘H. latifolia’ was a catch-all name for at least three cryptic species:Neofolia rosea, Nesoia mediterranea, and the genuine H. latifolia, which has been transferred to the recently establishedgenus Nesoia. In this study, we further refine the taxonomy of European Halymeniaceae by examining new collections offoliose taxa from the Mediterranean Sea and Macaronesia. Analyses of rbcL gene sequences showed that unbranched folioseHalymeniaceae from Europe can be separated into five species, including three previously described species in Neofolia(N. rosea) and Nesoia (N. latifolia and N. mediterranea) and two new species belonging to Halymenia (H. ballesterosii sp.nov.) and Nesoia (N. hommersandii sp. nov.). Halymenia ballesterosii is the only known unbranched foliose species in thegenus from Europe and can be separated from morphologically similar species in Neofolia and Nesoia by protruding surfacecells, two-celled carpogonial branches, a basal nutritive cell cluster in the carpogonial branch ampullae, and secondaryconnecting filaments issued from basal cells of ampullar filaments. Nesoia hommersandii differs from N. latifolia by the lackof swollen arms in medullary stellate cells and cystocarps that slightly protrude above the thallus surface. We expect that thespecies diversity of foliose Halymeniaceae may increase when more foliose plants are collected and examined from differentlocations in Europe.
