111. TERMINOLOGY USED IN WORK WITH SEAWEEDS
OF ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE
Many terms have now come into general usage in this type of work,
and since these will be used in the following pages they are separately
defined here.
A. Terminology associated with the plants
Agarophyte, agarphyte, agarweed: terms used to define any plant
which can be used as a source of agar (see below) (Tseng, 1946, 1947).
Aguroid: a term used for plants which produce gel-like extracts with
properties different from agar, e.g. Chondrus, Cigartinu, Gloiopeltis,
Phyllophora.
Carrageens: Chondrus crispus and Gigartina stellata, both sources of
the carrageenan extract. Chondrus crispus is also called Irish Moss, and
Cigartinu " False Irish Moss ".
Kelps: originally this was used to describe the ash left after burning
the larger brown algae (fucoids and Laminaria sp.) on the Scottish
coast, and which was used as a source of minerals, e.g. potash. It has
now come to be used as synonymous with the larger brown algae, in
particular the " giant kelps ", Macrocystis and Nereocystis.
Laver: a term used to describe the edible Porphyra sp. At one time
it was more commonly used on the Devon and Welsh coasts (" bara
l a m " in Welsh), but is now of more widespread use ; thus it is frequently
found in Japanese literature. Several anglicized versions of original
Japanese names are also in use (Table IX).
