Description: The published version of WoRMS is lacking any species in the wide spread algae genus Ulva:

I have verified their latest dwc archive from 1st July 2015 and it is also true in the source files. Contrary WoRMS has many species in their portal:

Check with WoRMS if the omission is on purpose or erroneous. It might be the dreadful Algaebase IPR struggle again...]]>
