Sphacelaria cirrosa (Roth) C.Agardh belong to the phylum Heterokontophyta. The species have thallus olive to dark brown, (0.2–)0.5–3 cm long, forming loose to dense tufts, epiphytic on various algae and seagrasses, arising from a basal cell plate or stoloniferous, occasionally with descending rhizoids from lower erect axes. Branching of the well developed, erect, axes abundant, with more or less determinate, evenly tapering laterals arising every few segments, subdistichously to more usually radially arranged, alternate to occasionally opposite, usually at wide angles to the axes and with the laterals narrower than the axes; phaeophycean hairs usually abundant, especially near tips of laterals. |
