Respecto a la Zostera marina L., de la que se dan dos variedades (Z. marina L. var.marina y Z. marina L. var stenophylla Aschers. & Graebner), no encontramos [...] diferencias claras entre las dos pretendidas variedades, ya que en condiciones ecológicas homogéneas aparecen individuos intermedios tanto en lo referente a la anchura y longitud de sus hojas como respecto al número de nervios de las mismas, por ello hemos preferido no diferenciar ambas variedades y englobarlas en la clásica Zostera marina L. 2, record 1, Spanish, - zostera
