I found this Caulerpa at WeUgama at a depth of from 1 to 2 m. on sandy bottom. What justifies its creation as a special elementary species is its characteristic quahty of the branchlets being dichotomous (fig. 23). A typicaUy developed axis with such branchlets is to be seen in 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 Svedelius, Nils, 1873-1960.
