- Nomenclatural Comment
- The generic name, Agarophyton is formed from Malayan and Greek words. Agar- is derived from the Malay “agar-agar” (a gelatinous substance from seaweed; see: McHugh 2003) which we have joined with an “-o- “ to the Greek -phyton, thus the name means “agar-plant.” The type species, A. chilensis, and other species of this genus are currently the main sources of agar in the world (Zemke-White & Ohno 1999).
