Ceramium gatitanum is a small marine red alga.
This finely branched alga grows to a length of 15 cm. Grows with erect axes and with many lateral branches. The branches are completely corticated and not in-rolled at the apices. Very small spines occur near the tips on the outer sides are parse and usually three cells long. These spines help to distinguish the species from others. In the British Isles only Ceramium echionotum , Ceramium shuttleworthianum and Ceramium ciliatum show spines. [1]
Cystocarps and tetrasporangia are recorded. [1]
To be found growing epiphytically on other algae and also on rock in the lower littoral. [1]
Recorded from the coasts of Great Britain, Ireland and the coast of Europe. [1]
Ceramium is a genus of Ceramium algae. It is a large genus with at least 15 species in the British Isles.
Atractophora hypnoides is a rare red alga (Rhodophyta) found in the British Isles, France and some Atlantic Islands and is the only species of the genus found in the British Isles. It is attached to the rock or other algae by a small basal disc and is much branched with downgrowing filaments which enclose the main branch or axis forming a cortex. Short filaments of limited growth radiate in whorls from the axis and frequently convert into hairs. The spreading filaments grow irregularly in a diffuse manner. Microscope examination is required for identification.
