Notes on The Marine Algae of The Bermudas. 9. The Genus Botryocladia (Rhodophyta, Rhodymeniaceae), Including B. Bermudana, B. Exquisita and B. Flookii spp. nov
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Using morphological and molecular analyses (rbcL gene sequences), three new species, Botryocladia bermudana, B. exquisita and B. flookii, are described from the coastal waters and national aquarium of Bermuda. The new taxa are joined by two others in the island’s flora, B. occidentalis and B. wynnei, the last representing a new distributional record. The cryptic species, B. bermudana, is the most common of all Botryocladia species in the islands and was known from Bermuda in the past as B. pyriformis (Borgesen) Kylin. Analysis of rbcL sequences shows that B. bermudana is most closely related to B. caraibica from the Caribbean. These two species share many characteristics in addition to their phylogentic positioning. Botryocladia exquisita is anatomically and molecularly most similar to the much smaller B. monoica from the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, and B. flookii bears a striking superficial resemblance to B. macaronesica from the Canary Islands. Several anatomical and reproductive characteristics differentiate the two.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
