Capensia fucorum  (= Mesophyllum capense ) is described as the first hemiparasitic coralline genus and species infecting a non-coralline host (species of  Gelidium ). Amongst coralline algae,  Capensia  also exhibits a unique thallus organisation displaying sympodial branching at the margin and a monostromatic hypothallium with gradually ascending and descending filaments in the main thallus. Sympodial branching occurs from the ventral side of hypothallial cells and guarantees close adhesion to the host, while older hypothallial filaments are displaced dorsally to form the perithallium. Haustoria develop as terminal cells of descending filaments and penetrate the first and occasionally second cortical layer of the host.  Capensia  is monotypic with restricted distribution on  Gelidium capense  and  Gelidium pteridifolium  from South Africa. The generitype  Capensia fucorum  (=  Millepora fucorum  Esper) is originally described from the Cape of Good Hope. The new hemiparasitic genus, like its synonym, belongs to Mesophyllaceae and its closer relationship remains to be identified, starting the search in members of this family co-occurring with  Capensia  in South Africa.
