| Notes |
Authority: (Hudson) Greville, 1830 [details] Diet: photosynthetic [details] Distribution: Long Island Sound to Strait of Belle Isle [details] Habitat: low tide pools and the sublittoral to 20 m, often as extensive beds on rock subjected to caverage by shifting sand and may be covered for extended periods [details] Morphology: Red colour results from the dominance of the pigments phycoerythrin and phycocyanin; this masks the other pigments, chlorophyll a (no chlorophyll b), beta-caratene and a number of unique xanthophylls. [details] Reproduction: vegetative reproduction is rare; asexual reproduction is effected by the formation of various kinds of spores; Sexual reproduction is unique in this group due to their passive, non flagellated sperm cells (spermatia) [details] | |||||||||||||||||||
