This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Boo, Ga Hun, Gerung, Grevo Soleman (2025): Distribution over the Equator; the first record of Yonagunia taiwani-borealis S. - M. Lin, Y. - C. Chuang & De Clerck (Halymeniales, Rhodophyta) in Southern Indonesia. Cryptogamie, Algologie 46 (4): 61-66, DOI: 10.5252/cryptogamie-algologie2025v46a4, URL: sciencepress.mnhn.fr/sites/default/files/articles/pdf/algologie2025v46a4_0.pdf ABSTRACT Disjunct distributions provide an intriguing issue for our understanding of the biogeography of marine algae because of their lack of the active dispersal potential.

The present morphological and molecular study reports the unexpected occurrence of a grateloupiacean red alga Yonagunia taiwani-borealis S.-M.Lin, Y.-C.Chuang & De Clerck from Lembongan Island, Southern Indonesia, a species which was considered endemic to northern Taiwan. Indonesian specimens were examined and are in good morpho-anatomical agreement with the Taiwanese type material. Plastid rbc L sequence divergence of both Indonesian and Taiwanese specimens was 0.08%.
