* Sargassum ilicifolium (Turner) C. Agardh, 1820

Japanese name: ヒイラギモク (hiiragimoku)

Basionym: Fucus ilicifolius Turner

Type locality: —Sunda Strait, Indonesia

Description and remarks: —The specimen is small with a height of 6 cm. Leaves may be 1.5 cm long and 1 cm in width, with dentate margins. The leaves may sometimes bear duplicated leaf margins ( Liao et al., 2013) where the leaf folds along one third of one side of the leaf or along the axis of the faint midrib. This results in one side being smooth or bending slightly inward creating a crescent margin, similar to Sargassum hemiphyllum leaves. This species was observed growing in small patches along the shallow windward side of Yokoura in mid spring until mid summer, together with other species of Sargassum , namely S. muticum and S. micracanthum .
