Abstract
The occurrence near Livorno (Ligurian Sea, Italy) of Caulerpa racemosa (Forsskal) J. Agardh (Chlorophyceae, Caulerpales) is reported. Up to now, the southeastern Mediterranean has constituted the northernmost l imit of distribution of this species, as indicated by previous algolog ical studies. The hypothesis that the distribution of C. racemosa coul d spread, is put forward. The characteristics of this alga and its hab itat are described.
