Ceramiaceae: Callithamnion (calli, beauty; thamnion, small bush). Fig. 145 This is a genus of very beautiful and delicate plants that possess filamentous, radially branched fronds which are either mono- siphonous or else corticated at the base, the cortication being formed by rhizoidal filaments. The plants are commonly attached by rhizoids and in many species the branchlets terminate in long slender hairs. The cells of the vegetative thallus are usually multi- nucleate, and in C. byssoideum there are protoplasmic pseudopodia projecting internally from the ends of the cells, and although these 254.
