Taxonomic note
"Nizamuddin (1985) described this
species as caespitose. However, we agree with
Cormaci et al. (1992) and Alongi et al. (1999) in
considering it as pseudocaspitose in having a
short cauloid that early produces some secondary
cauloids." (Cormaci et al. 2012: 366). - (26 August 2015) - M.D. Guiry
Habitat note
Undisturbed and pristine site; in upper sublittoral zone (1 m depth), epilithic on rocky semi-exposed shore, associated with Ceramium spp., Cystoseira compressa, Haliptilon virgatum and Osmundea sp. (Tsiamis et al. 2010). - (29 April 2011) - G.M. Guiry
