Note(s): Forty-one species of algae occured as epiphytes on the seagrasses Halodule wrightii, Syringodium filiforme, and Thalassia testudinum in the Indian River, Florida. Monthly collections were made at three stations and bi-monthly collections were made at two stations from December 1977 through December 1978. Species numbers and species abundance were generally highest in the winter and the spring when Rhodophyta and Phaeophyta were most abundant, and lowest during the late summer and early fall. Cyanophyta and Chlorophyta occurred relatively consistently throughout the year. The epiphytes are divided into three groups based on their seasonal pattern: 1) Year-round species, 2) winter-spring species,and 3) species of rare or irregular occurrence.
