Corallina hombronii is a calcareous red seaweed, found in the oceans of the Southern Hemisphere.
Taxonomy
The species was first described by Camille Montagne in 1845 as Jania hombronii, based on a type specimen collected from the Auckland Islands.[1][2] The species was transferred to the genus Corallina in 1849 by Friedrich Traugott Kützing.[3] In 2025, Corallina chamberlainiae was synonymised with Corallina hombronii.[2]
Distribution
The species is known to occur in New Zealand, Chile, the Falkland Islands and Tristan da Cunha.[2]
