Short description Morphology
Thalli large, dark brown or yellowish brown, strongly attached to hard substrates by a well-developed discoid holdfast. Branching subdichotomous-divaricate, forming angles of less than 90°, narrowing at the distal portion of the thallus. Branches strap-shaped, 4 to 8 mm across, with a distinct midrib running throughout the entire length. Parallel to the midrib on both sides are sori of hairs. Margin of the blades entire to slightly undulate. Cross-section of a ranch shows 2 layers of cells; cells of the midrib polyhedral to quadrangular in surface view. Thalli up to 25 cm in height (Ref. 80758).
Used as medicine: antitumor (Ref. 80758).
