Distributional analysis of well-characterized Hawaiian taxa representing the red algae, green algae, cyanobacteria, diatoms and xanthophytes. Distribution on each of the Hawaiian Islands as determined by this survey is indicated, along with literature records of distribution from other regions of the world. Categories of distribution are as follows: 1 = reported from 6-8 regions outside of Hawaii, 2 = reported from 4-5 regions outside of Hawaii, 3 = reported from 1-3 regions outside of Hawaii, 4 = putatively endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. “X” = Xanthophytes. Taxon names are listed within each major group by distribution category, and alphabetically by taxon name.
