Material examined

PACIFIC OCEAN • 1 plume, ca 8.5 cm high, hydrorhiza and gonothecae missing; off New Caledonia, stn DW4970 ; 21°01ʹ S, 158°31ʹ E; 750 m; 8 Sep. 2017; KANADEEP leg.; MNHN-IK-2015-545 . GoogleMaps

Remarks

For modern descriptions of this species, refer to Watson (2002, 2018) and Vervoort & Watson (2003).

As noted by Watson (2002), A. sinuosa is easily recognizable through the sinuous bends at intervals along the stem that mark a reversal of the orientation of cladia. Although a reversal is present in sample MNHN-IK-2015-545, the condition of the stem is little affected.

Distribution

South and SE Australia, Tasman Sea ( Watson 2018), New Caledonia (present study).
