The taxon Ceramium siliquosum is a small marine alga.[1] It belongs to the red algae genus Ceramium.
Description
This small red alga grows to no more than 18 cm high. It is basically monosiponous with distinct main branches which are cylindrical and not completely corticate. These incompletely corticate internodes appear collar-like around the branches. The tips of the branches are curled inwards and do not bear spines.[1]
Reproduction
The gametophytes are dioecious. Spermatangia occur in sori which cover the cortical bands. Cystocarps, tisssue which surrounds the part of the cystocarp and tetrasporangia occur.[1]
Habitat
Found growing as an epiphyte on other algae in rock pools of the lower littoral to 12m depth.[1]
Distribution
Recorded from Ireland from Donegal.<Morton, O. 2003. The marine macroalgae of County Donegal, Ireland."Bulletin of Irish biogeography Society" No. 27 pp.3 - 164 and Great Britain. In Europe from France and Spain.[1]
