Amphiroa Tribulus
''Amphiroa'' is a genus of thalloid red algae under the family Corallinaceae. Taxonomy and nomenclature Amphiroa was first described by Jean Vincent Félix Lamouroux in 1812 with the type species for the genus being ''Amphiroa tribulus''''.'' This genus was named after Amphiro, a sea nymph in the epic poem of Theogony by the Greek poet Hesiod. There are currently 72 accepted species names for this genus. Morphology ''Amphiroa'' is composed of an erect thallus that is attached to the substrate with an insconspicous crustose base, and possess mature branches differentiated into alternating areas calcified intergenicula and uncalcified genicula that is composed of more than cell layer and does not exhibit any dimerous flange-like branches. 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 po ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amphiroa Beauvoisii
''Amphiroa beauvoisii'' is a species of thalloid red algae in the Coralline algae, Corallinaceae family. It is widely distributed across the world, and can be found attached to rocks in intertidal areas. Individual organisms consist of a base of calcified material, tissue in the shape of branching fan-like planes growing out of it. It exhibits a wide range of morphologies based on where it is found, as well as different reproductive behaviors based on season and location. Description Plants of ''Amphiroa beauvoisii'' grow on the surface of rocks, attached on their undersides by a Calcification, calcified and crustose base. From this base, erect axes grow up to long. The axes are made up of alternating segments of calcified sections called intergenicula and non-calcified sections called Geniculate (alga), genicula.Harvey ''et al.'' 2009, 267. They branch out in a fan-like plane which is about tall,Economou-Amilli ''et al'', 262. usually split into two distinct branches, but ra ...
