Comments: Based on its distribution, we tentatively classify Pylaiella littoralis as native in northern boreal and Arctic<br />

regions and the NEP, introduced in Hawaii (Carlton and Eldredge, 2009), cryptogenic in the southern hemisphere, and<br />

unclassified elsewhere. P. littoralis is often found as an epiphyte on brown algae, such as Fucus.<br />
