Lessoniaceae
Lessoniaceae are a family of kelp. Species of this family have a transition zone with the intercalary meristem subdivided so that there are a number of secondary stipes in addition to the primary Stipe (botany), stipe.

Lessonia (alga)
''Lessonia'' is a genus of large kelp native to the southern Pacific Ocean. It is the only kelp to be restricted to the southern hemisphere and is primarily distributed along the coasts of South America, New Zealand, Tasmania, and the List of Antarctic and subantarctic islands, Antarctic islands. ''Lessonia'' is one of two principal genera in kelp forests (the other is ''Macrocystis''). In Chile, the preservation of ''Lessonia'' kelp is an important to help preserve the biodiversity that exists on rocky shores. By studying the harvesting of these wild populations of ''Lessonia'' kelp marine biologists are able to analyze the effects of this activity on wildlife. Some species are of economic importance, such as ''Lessonia nigrescens'', which is harvested for alginic acid, alginate. They use a variety of chemical defenses and are somewhat resistant to Algivore, algivory. The Zoospore, zoospores are known to produce sporophytes even when ingested by fish.

Egregia Menziesii
''Egregia menziesii'' is a species of kelp known commonly as feather boa kelp. It is the only species in the monotypic genus ''Egregia''. It is native to the coastline of western North America from Alaska to Baja California, where it is a common kelp of the intertidal zone. Description It is dark brown in color, shiny and bumpy in texture, and may reach over five meters long. It grows a branching stipe from a thick holdfast. It bears long, flat, straplike fronds lined with small blades each a few centimeters long. There are pneumatocysts at intervals along the fronds which provide buoyancy. The alga varies in morphology; the rachis, or central strip, of the frond may be smooth or corrugated, and the blades along the edge of the rachis may be a variety of shapes.

Eisenia Bicyclis
, sea oak is a species of kelp, of the brown algae, best known for its use in Japanese cuisine. Description ''Eisenia bicyclis'' is indigenous to temperate Pacific Ocean waters centered near Japan, although it is deliberately cultured elsewhere, including South Korea. Arame , Food to Good Health, 2010 retrieved 8 February 2013 It grows and reproduces seasonally. Two flattened oval fronds rise from a stiff woody stipe which can be up to about tall. The fronds are shed and new ones formed annually. The plant appears both branched and feathered. It may be harvested by divers manually or mechanically, and the dried form is available year-round. Cuisine It is one of many species of |

Eisenia Arborea
''Eisenia arborea'', or the southern sea palm (not to be confused with the sea palm), is a dominant species of kelp that is found on the western Pacific coast of North America, from Vancouver Island, Canada south to Mexico's Isla Magdalena and Baja California, as well as in Japan. They are commonly found from the midtidal areas stretching to the subtidal areas. It is an edible seaweed, a source of nutrients for grazing marine invertebrates and a source of alginic acid Alginic acid, also called algin, is a naturally occurring, edible polysaccharide found in brown algae. It is hydrophilic and forms a viscous gum when hydrated. When the alginic acid binds with sodium and calcium ions, the resulting salts are kn ..., a food thickener. Some of the algas have a hollow stipe above its holdfast with two branches terminating in multiple blades. Eisenia arborea is studied in order to predict environmental stress in oceans intertidal zones. Hollow stipes where present when the Eis ...
