I will contact Carol Ann McCormick, the dataset, POC to see if she can weigh in on it.

It sounds like the specimen will need to be examined by an expert in the genus Gracilaria to confirm or update the species assignment. Carol Ann was able to tell me that:

Unfortunately, Dr. Hommersand died last summer, and while Dr. Gabrielson is still on staff, he specializes in corallines and I don't think would be able to help much on confirming the ID of the Gracilaria. I think the best option is for NCU to lend the specimen to a specialist in the genus (can you suggest anyone?).

Some potentially helpful details:

I think Olivier https://twitter.com/odclerck (Olivier.DeClerck@UGent.be) is somewhat knowledgeable about Gracilaria.

In the meantime, update from Mike Graham (a phycology expert at Moss Landing Marine Labs) via Marine Lebcrec (CeNCOOS):

Yes that is a globally invasive species. And yes the person that did the determination form that species, Max Hommersand, recently passed away. But he was one of the world’s experts so his identification of the specimen on that herbarium sheet is rock solid. If you want a current expert I would email Stacy Krueger-Hadfield at Univ Alabama Birmingham

I will contact Stacy and Olivier and see if their opinion differs and if they think the distribution should be expanded to global.

Stacy believed it was worth sequencing these specimens to get additional evidence for a taxonomic assignment, so the herbarium has sent her some specimens. I will update this when I hear back.
