The specimens distributed under this number seem to agree
so well with the description of Gigartina mollis Harv. and Bailey, as
well as with an authentic specimen, that they are placed under that
species. These specimens, however, are a true species of Farlowia,
in the sense of Agardh and Schmitz. Consequently it has become
necessary to remove the species to that genus.
