Aureophycus is a genus of kelp native to the waters of Karamil Island in the Aleutians, comprising a single species Aureophycus aleuticus, formally described in 2008. Each frond is 2 m (6 ft 7 in) long by 60 cm (24 in) wide with a strong yellow vein running along each edge (central vein lacking).[1][2] A 2013 study found the genus to be basal to Laminariales.[3]
