Abstract: The red seaweed genus Porphyra is one of the economically important seaweeds, and belongs to the bladed order Bangiales of Rhodophyta. The recent global molecular assessment of the order Bangiales has led to many nomenclatural changes in the genus Porphyra and the resurrected genus Pyropia, under which 51 taxa of the genus Porphyrahave been shifted. Therefore, presently Porphyra is represented by four taxa and Pyropia by five taxa in India. The study also revealed that of the nine taxa studied, seven taxa including all four taxa of Porphyra and three taxa of Pyropia are endemic to the Indian coast. The present paper deals with the comprehensive taxonomic account of these two important genera of red seaweeds in India.
Keywords: Endemic, Indian coast, Porphyra, Pyropia, Rhodophyta, Taxonomy.
