Comments: "Kappaphycus alvarezii seems to have been narrowly restricted to the southernmost Sulu Archipelago, the<br />

Celebes Sea and Biak na Belau north of the equator until after 1974 it became widely distributed by man [for<br />

carrageenan production]" (Neish, 2003). Based on this native distribution, we classify it introduced in other areas.<br />
