Synarthrophyton
Sign in to saveSynarthrophyton is a genus of thalloid red algae comprising eight species. The monomerous, crustose thalli are composed of a single system of filaments which grow close to the underlying surface. Synarthrophyton reproduces by means of flask-shaped multiporate conceptacles; it produces tetraspores and dispores. Mucus plugs the opening of young conceptacles, which open as they mature.
