Where
seen? This broad strap-like seaweed is sometimes seen on
our Southern shores, attached to coral rubble.
Features: Clumps of flat blades
about 2cm wide and 10-15cm long. The broad strap-like blades branch
irregularly near the ends on the same plane into flat strips with
squared tips and slightly frilly edges. There is no "vein"
down the centre of the blade. Colours golden to reddish brown. |
