451787D1AF52FFDAFF48058C9140452E.taxon	description	Description: — Plants monoecious, moderately mucilaginous, dark green, small, only 0.5 – 1 cm high. Thallus branching irregular, frequent in the upper part of the thallus. Whorls well developed, confluent, barrel-shaped, 350 – 450 µm wide. Internodes 150 – 350 µm; axis colorless, axial cells 20 – 50 µm in diameter; cortical filaments profuse, cylindrical, 5 – 10 um in diameter, 20 µm or more long. Primary fascicles straight, dichotomously branched, 2 - 3 times branched, composed of 5 – 7 cells, ellipsoidal, 5 – 8 µm in diameter, 20 – 40 µm long. Secondary fascicles, abundant, covering the entire internode, unbranched or dichotomously branched, shorter or as long as the primary fascicles, composed of 3 – 7 cells. Spermatangia spherical, sparse, single-grown, terminal on primary fascicles, 7 – 9 µm in diameter. Carpogonial branches helically twisted, arising from the pericentral cells; involucral filaments short, dense, composed of 1 – 3 cells; carpogonia with club-shaped trichogynes, distinctly stalked, 30 – 50 µm long, 6 – 10 µm in diameter. Carposporophytes sessile, one per whorl, lower or as high as whorl radius, dense and spherical, 150 – 250 µm in diameter. Carposporangia obovoid or elliptical, 7 – 10 µm in diameter, 15 – 20 µm long, terminal on gonimoblast filaments.	en	Fang, Kun-Peng, Nan, Fang-Ru, Feng, Jia, Lv, Jun-Ping, Liu, Qi, Liu, Xu-Dong, Xie, Shu-Lian (2021): A New Species of Kumanoa (Batrachospermales, Rhodophyta) from Baiyun Mountain, Guangdong, China.

451787D1AF52FFDAFF48058C9140452E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: ― The new species differs from other Kumanoa species in the following combination of characters: small plant size with abundant branching in upper part of thallus; carposporophytes spherical and one per whorl; club-shaped trichogynes with distinct stalk; spermatangia sparse and single-grown, terminal on primary fascicles. Diagnostic DNA sequence: rbc L, COI- 5 P and LSU (accession number: MW 798266 for rbc L, MW 798267 for COI- 5 P and MW 794124 for UPA). Type locality: China, Guangdong, Baiyun Mountain (24 ° 15 ′ 5 ″ N, 113 ° 18 ′ 2 ″ E). On the wall of a stony pool formed by groundwater from dry mountain stream of the Baiyun Mountain. Holotype designated here: Liquid immersion specimens (SXU-GD 20001) and herbarium voucher (Holotype SXU-GD 20002, Isotype SXU-GD 20003) were deposited in Herbarium of Shanxi University (SXU), Shanxi University, Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, China. November 2020 by Kun-peng Fang. Etymology: The species epithet refers to the type locality (Baiyun mountain, China).	en	Fang, Kun-Peng, Nan, Fang-Ru, Feng, Jia, Lv, Jun-Ping, Liu, Qi, Liu, Xu-Dong, Xie, Shu-Lian (2021): A New Species of Kumanoa (Batrachospermales, Rhodophyta) from Baiyun Mountain, Guangdong, China.
