Extract

Ectocarpus distortus and E. landsburgii are shown to be conspecific and to constitute free-living ecads of E. fasciculatus. It is therefore recommended that the two should no longer be regarded as true species although it is pointed out that the specific epithet E. distortus may have priority over E. fasciculatus. If so, the entire complex, provisionally retained as E. fasciculatus, may have to be known as E. distortus. Meanwhile it is recommended that the list of British Ectocarpus spp. be reduced to two, namely E. fasciculatus and E. siliculosus.
