The genus Umbraulva, which is a green alga within the Ulvaceae family, was proposed by Bae and Lee in 2001. The genus initially contained the three species that were initially studied to develop the genus, and since has had three new species added, including U. kuaweuweu, which was eventually moved to another genus. Umbraulva species grow upon hard substrates, and inhabit deep subtidal areas. Species within this genus are widely distributed, and have been identified in Asia, Europe, Hawaii, and New Zealand. The morphological traits of Umbraulva vary among species, but commonly, Umbraulva are macroscopic with olive green blades containing the photosynthetic pigment siphonaxanthin. The blades are flattened and ellipsoid in shape, or are narrow and oval shaped, with perforations and/or lobes
