Life History:
facultative alternation of heteromorphic phases, with dioecious erect blades producing isogametes in plurilocular organs and the zygote developing into a crustose sporophyte bearing unilocular sporangia; zooids from unilocular sporangia developing into blades; crusts rarely producing blades directly; unfused gametes developing parthenogenetically into crusts ( Kogame 1997; Shannon et al. 1988 b; Wynne 1972 a, p. 139; Wynne 1972 b, p. 133; Hsiao 1969; Wynne 1969 a, p. 17 )  Display references
