Extract

Saccorhiza polyschides (Lightf.) Batt. is a laminarian alga found in the sublittoral region. It is widely distributed around the shores of the British Isles and is particularly common on the south west coast of Ireland. A puzzling aspect of the distribution of the species in Southern Ireland is its absence from Lough Ine, in County Cork.
