Durvillaea amatheiae is a large, robust species of southern bull kelp found in Australia .[1]
Description
The species can be confused with Durvillaea potatorum, which has an overlapping geographic distribution.[1][2] D. potatorum has a shorter, wider stipe with more limited lateral blade development, whereas D. amatheiae has a shorter, narrow stipe and typically prolific lateral blade development.[1][2]
Distribution
Durvillaea amatheiae is endemic to southeast Australia.[1][2]
