Vertebrata subulifera [1](Polysiphonia subulifera (C.Agardh) Harvey) [2] is a small marine alga in the division Rhodophyta.
Description
[edit]This alga consists of branched thalli growing to a length of 20 cm. It grows as tufts of very branched axes attached by rhizoids. A main branch is absent. In section the main branches can be seen to be composed of a central axis with 12 pericentral cells all of equal length. Trichoblasts are abundant.[2]
Similar to Vertebrata fruticulosa (Boergeseniella fruticulosa) which it is distinguished by small corticated cells.[2]
Habitat
