Description

Halimeda (Caulerpaceae) is a calcified green alga (class Bryopsidophyceae) that is widespread today and is an important structural component of many Cretaceous to recent reefs. The thallus of Halimeda is constructed entirely of branching segments that are matted together to form a plant body, which in some species may reach over a meter in length. The plant may be regarded as one giant, multinucleated cell. ## Keywords Plantae Chlorophyta Bryopsidophyceae
