For all you bio gods.. Need help.

[Gerardo Suner]

Ok guys.. I really need help with the following..  I have tried 
researching, the stuff in the library, but somehow I can't seem to find 
it.  It is the following
Plocamium Violaceum (which I have no idea what it is) 
and
Macrocystis Pyrifera (Which I found out to be an algae) Any help on any 
of these would really be appreciated (hey I would even send you a beer) 
Thanks guys. 
Jerry

Ps.  If it is ok, would it be possible if you can send your replies 
through mail. Thanks.
