Life History:

uninvestigated in Pacific coast populations; in Europe, alternation of isomorphic phases, a sporophyte that produces quadriflagellate zoospores alternating with unisexual gametophytes that produce slightly unequal biflagellate gametes; parthenogenetic development of gametophytes by unfused gametes in strains without pronounced sexuality (Bliding 1963, p. 132; Comps 1961)
