Branches cylindrical, rigid, to mm diam., tapered, roughened with reproductive structures when fertile. Cells of surface layer lens-shaped to oval, 15-20 um diam., synchronous sloughing of surface layer common; subsurface stratum of many layers, gently curving to medulla, lateral pit connections absent, lateral fusions common; medullary cells thick-walled, rectangular, tiered, 1 5-20 um wide, 20-40 um thick. Trichocytes large, thick-walled, solitary or in vertical clusters, scattered in surface layer. Common: often lying free in shallow seagrass beds on reef ats, occasionally fusing to create massive reef structures on turbulent reefs; to 3 m deep. Highborne Cay distribution: dominant alga of the reef crest 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.
