Reproductive structures are required for a correct identification of this red alga; Hymenena species can be difficult to differentiate from each other as well as from Cryptopleura species (see C. ruprechtiana and C. lobulifera). H. setchellii has been reported from British Columbia to California. The above specimens were found growing on bedrock in the lower intertidal of a north-facing, semi-exposed beach on Calvert Island. See AlgaeBase for more photos of this species.
