摘要: Seagrasses are the only flowering plants that are found in the sea and they belong to the Monocotyledons. There are about 49 species of 12 genera seagrasses distributed all over the world (Gacia et al., 2003). The 12 genera consists of nine genera thatbelong to the Potamogetonaceae family and three to the Hydrocharitaceae family. Seagrasses play an important role in the ecology of various ecosystems, however, only a limited number of studies deal with the chemistry of secondary metabolites of seagrasses (Larkum et al., 2006). The two species belonging to the genus Thalassia (Family: Hydrocharitaceae) Thalassia hemprichii (Ehrenb.) Aschers and Thalassia testudinum König are widely distributed in shallowcoastal areas in the tropics and subtropics of the Western Atlantic and Indo-Pacific, respectively, and they are considered to be ‘twin species’ (Larkum et al.,2006). Early work with Thalassia focused principally on taxonomy, anatomy, distribution, and limited autecology. Plants of T. hemprichii were collected in the summer of 2008 from the South China Sea, altitude – 10–0m, Nanwan (18_ 230 N, 110_ 400 E), Lingshui County, Hainan Province, China, using standard flora specimens No.142 and No.16508 of Herbarium of National Taiwan University for plant identification. The voucher sample (SCSIO 080612) has been deposited in the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
