Extract

The presence of Trididemnum niveum (Giard) is reported from the Plymouth area. It is compared with the other two British species of Trididemnum, T. tenerum and T. alleni, with which it has in the past been somewhat confused, and all three are shown to be distinct species. A short diagnosis of the three species is given as an aid to identification.
