The reproduction and phenology of Antithamnion cruciatum (Rhodophyta: Ceramiaceae) in insular Newfoundland
Antithamnion cruciatum (C.Ag.) Näg. is reported from insular Newfoundland, its most northerly known location in North America. It exhibits a variable morphology occurring as the typical erect form, as a prostrate form, and as a fragmented form by which it perennates. Zonately divided sporangia conta...
