Cystoseira foeniculacea
Cystoseira foeniculacea is a species of brown alga in the genus Cystoseira.
From the article Cystoseira foeniculacea on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
Cystoseira foeniculacea forms tufts up to 30 centimetres (12 in) long, attached to the substrate with a broad disc-shaped holdfast. It has many cryptostomata, and conceptacles that may be male, female or both. Up to 12 oogonia may develop in each conceptacle. The proximity of the oogonia and the antheridia strongly suggest that C. foeniculacea self-fertilises.
Range & habitat
Cystoseira foeniculacea is found in the mid-littoral zone and in other sheltered places, from the British Isles to Senegal, and in the Mediterranean Sea.
