According to the morphological and anatomical procedures, the marine red algal genus Gracilaria was studied using the samples collected from the southeastern coast of Hainan province, China. Four species were identified, namely, Gracilaria eucheumoides, G. blodgettii, G. salicornia, and G. spinulosa. Their morphological characteristics were described in detail. Combined with the Cryo-sectioning Technique, the anatomical figures of all species were obtained, including distinctive cystocarps of Gracilariophila deformans on G. salicornia. These findings provide science and technology support for the protection and utilization of these resources in Hainan province, China.
