Abstract
Morphological and molecular phylogenies of kelp (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae), the world’s largest protists, are generally at odds. This chapter discusses the current state of knowledge for relationships of the Laminariales relative to other orders of brown algae (Phaeophyceae) and among the families of kelp, in particular, the Alariaceae, Laminariaceae and Lessoniaceae. Phylogenetic relationships among fourteen kelp species, representing these three families were inferred from newly obtained and previously published (3’18S — ITS1 — 5.8S) rDNA sequences.
