Phyllophora pseudoceranoides, the stalked leaf bearer, is a small marine red alga.[1]
Description[edit]
This red alga grows to a length of 10 cm (3.9 in). The frond is generally flattened and fan shaped, growing from a discoid holdfast forming a terete stipe with flattened branches dividing dichotomously as a blade with rounded apices.[2][3] The medulla, the inner parts of the frond, is composed of large thick walled cells, closely packed become smaller towards the cortex.[3]
Reproduction[edit]
The plants are usually dioecious, male and female parts on separate plants. The spermatangia pits in the cortex, the cystocarps are pedicellate, urn-shaped growing to 3 mm long. The tetrasporangia occur form patches in rows on the sides of the blade.[2][3]
Habitat[edit]
In rock pools and in the intertidal zone to a depth of 30 m.[4][3]
Distribution[edit]
Commonly to be found around the Great Britain, Ireland, Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Iceland, Norway to Portugal and the Mediterranean.[3][2]
