Short description Morphology

Thalli to 2 mm high consisting of unbranched erect axes, that arise mainly from a single point or from a creeping filament. Axes are somewhat clavate, measuring 90-100 μm wide near the base, 140-170 μm in the middle part of the thallus, ending abruptly in an attenuate apex. Axial cells are lenticular, usually wider than long except near the base. A total of 8 periaxial cells are present per segment, each producing 2 anterior and 2 posterior cortical initials of cortical filaments. Anterior initials cut off 1-2 acropetal filaments, which are up to 2 cells long. Posterior initials either remain undivided or produce a single basipetal filament. Cortication remains incomplete, but adjacent cortical bands may be nearly confluent. Tetrasporangia form in distinctive whorls, are slightly protruding and measure 28-35 μm in diameter. Gametangia were not observed (Ref. 82093).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Typically, C. cingulatum has erect axes in the terminal parts or produces erect branches (Ref. 82093). Epiphytic on Plocamium telfairiae at -18 to 25 m (Ref. 82093).
