Ecological and systematic studies of the Ceylon species of Caulerpa ecologicalsystem00unse Year: 1906 Fig- 46-—C. longistipitata (w. v- b). (« 5 x 1, /) 4 x !)• For this reason it seems to me to be fully justified if we consider C. longistipitata as a distinct elementary species. My opinion here is supported by the fact that in the district where this species occurs, in the islands in the north between India and Ceylon, it showed itself very uniform, nor are any real lentillifera forms known from Ceylon. Its geographical distribution also seems to strengthen this view. C. lentillifera, J. G. Agardh, is only known from the Red Sea and the western parts of the Indian Ocean (Madagascar), that is, it has Western distribution ; C. longistipitata, on the other hand, is known from the Gulf of Mannar and the Gulf of Siam in the north, to New Guinea in the south, consequently it has a more Eastern distribution ; C. Kihieri, finally, only from the Timor Sea. Geographical Distribution.—South India : Paumben Pass ! Pacific (Gulf of Siam).
