|discussion=<p><i>Halodule wrightii</i> occupies the shallowest waters in the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, the plants are often exposed during low tides.</p><!--
--><p>All <i>Halodule</i> along the North American coast have been considered to be H. beaudettei (C. den Hartog 1964, 1970; concepts accepted by D. S. Correll and H. B. Correll 1972 and R. K. Godfrey and J. W. Wooten 1979). A study of the morphology of <i>Halodule</i> in one large population in the northern Gulf of Mexico showed the leaf tips in one population to range from that of H. beaudettei to that of <i>H. wrightii</i> (R. C. Phillips 1967). A later study of the isozymes of the two morphologic types showed no difference between the two (C. McMillan 1991). I amWe are following both R. C. Phillips and C. McMillan in accepting one species of <i>Halodule</i> in the Gulf of Mexico, i.e., <i>H. wrightii</i>. <i>Halodule</i> beaudettei, therefore, is a synonym of <i>H. wrightii</i>.</p>
