Description
Species Description - The Bahamian plants referred here seem to agree essentially with the northern type in the character of the antheridia, cystocarps, and tetrasporangia, but they are smaller plants and the filaments are often more moniliform, these differences being especially manifest in sterile and more doubtful specimens ihat have been identified tentatively with this species. The plants occur on surf beaten rocks between the tide-lines and as epiphytes on other algae, habitats that are not characteristic of the northern G. globulifcra.
