Ten species of seagrasses are recognized in Taiwan and adjacent islands. They are, namely, Halophila beccarii Aschers., Halophila decipiens Ostenf., Halophila ovalis (R. Br.) Hook. f., Thalassia hemprichii (Solms) Aschers., Cymodocea rotundata Ehrenb. & Hempr. ex Aschers., Cymodocea serrulata (R. Br.) Aschers. & Magnus, Syringodium isoetifolium (Aschers.) Dandy, Halodule pinifolia (Miki) den Hartog, Halodule uninervis (Forssk.) Aschers. and Nanozostera japonica (Ascherson & Graebner) Toml. & Posl. The detail morphological charactors of these speices are descripted for the first time, and can be the basis of further research. These species are mainly distributed in the west coast of Taiwan, Hengchun peninsula, the Green Island, the Orchid Island, Hsiaoliuchiu, the Pescadores Islands, Quemoy and the Pratas Island, the habitats can be categorized as 4 types, which are muddy to sandy tidal flat, coral platform, wave-cut platform and fine-muddy seabed.
