Surface cells to 18 pm diam., rectangular, 1-4 diameters long. Common: firmly attached to coral, rock fragments or other hard surfaces on shallow sand or mud ats, occasionally intermingled with other small algae in short turfs; to 1 5 m deep. Highborne Cay distribution: generally found on the reef at and in the stromatolite zone; only once was it found on the reef Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
