Phyllophora pseudoceranoides (S.G.Gmelin) P.R.Newroth & A.R.A. Taylor
Description: Cartilaginous, purplish or
reddish-brown fronds, to 100 mm high, with narrow, cylindrical,
irregularly dichotomously branched stipes arising from small
discoid holdfasts and expanding into flat fan-shaped laminae.
Habitat: Shady sides of pools in lower
intertidal and on rock subtidally. Widely distributed, frequent.
Similar species: Phyllophora sicula,
formerly P. palmettoides, is a “southern”
species that occurs very rarely on rock in the extreme lower
intertidal in S and W Ireland and SW England; its fronds are
less divided and arise in clusters from a thin, expanded,
discoid base.
