Amphiroa
''Amphiroa'' is a genus of thalloid red algae comprising 55 species. Specimens can reach around 30 cm in size. The thalli take a crustose form; dichotomous branches are formed. The organisms possess secondary pit connections. ''Amphiroa'' reproduces by means of conceptacles; it produces tetraspores. Its pore canals are lined with parallel filaments; the morphology of the pore canal is a key trait used to delineate species within the genus. Species The valid species currently considered to belong to this genus are: # ''Amphiroa anastomosans'' Weber Bosse # ''Amphiroa anceps'' (Lamarck) Decaisne # ''Amphiroa annobonensis'' Pilger # ''Amphiroa annulata'' Me.Lemoine # ''Amphiroa articulata'' (Bory) Athanasiadis # ''Amphiroa beauvoisii'' J.V.Lamouroux # ''Amphiroa bowerbankii'' Harvey # ''Amphiroa brasiliana'' Decaisne # ''Amphiroa breviarticulata'' Areschoug # ''Amphiroa canaliculata'' G.Martens # ''Amphiroa capensis'' Areschoug # ''Amphiroa compressa'' M.Lemoine # ''Amph ...
