Genus of algae
Callithamnion algae belonging to the family Callithamniaceae .[ 2]
The genus was first described by Danish botanist Hans Christian Lyngbye in 1819,[ 2] [ 3] Callithamnion corymbosum (Smith) Lyngbye .,[ 2]
The genus has cosmopolitan distribution .[ 4] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7] Newfoundland (Canada),[ 8] Sri Lanka and South Africa.[ 9] [ 10]
The genus of Callithamnion has undergone 2 major changes in its history. Carl Nägeli (in 1861) transferred species without alternate branchlets to Antithamnion Rhodochorton Acrochaetium [ 11] Genevieve Feldmann-Mazoyer in 1941 created genus Aglaothamnion for species having uninucleate cells, zig-zag carpogonial branches and lobed groups of carposporangia, and re-circumscribed Callithamnion . Aglaothamnion is now sometimes regarded as a synonym of Callithamnion with insufficient evidence for separate evolutionary lines of development.[ 2]
Description
Callithamnion species are a marine red alga that is monaxial (having only one axis) with free filaments and the thalli are usually small tufts.[ 12] [ 13] gametophytes and sporophytes are found throughout the year, but are usually only fertile in the late summer and autumn.[ 8]
