Lessonia nigrescens, the grey weed or giant grey weed, is a South American kelp species in the genus Lessonia.
There is at least two populations of the seaweed, marked by the difference in phenolic content. There is a subtidal population with higher phenol content and an intertidal population with a lighter phenol content. The difference in the phenolic content can be explained by the herbivory selection pressure due to the sea snail Tegula tridentata.[1]
UV treatment induces the production of phlorotannins that accumulate in physodes.[2]
This weed contains the phytosterol saringosterol that shows an inhibitory effect on Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth.[3]
