Abstract
Vegetative morphological information of the red alga Neorhodomela larix (Turner) Masuda (Rhodomelaceae) is given. This species is characterized by thalli up to 15 cm high, brownish black in color, pericentral cells with transverse division, the first order subulate branches with determinate growth, numerous adventitious branches produced at axils and absence of vegetative trichoblasts. Particularly, N. larix is distinct from other Korean Neorhodomela species by the lack of vegetative trichoblasts, which seems to be caused by their delayed production until reproductive structures are formed. This is the first record of N. larix in Korea.
