Abstract

The small rhodophyte Antithamnionella sarniensis Lyle (Ceramiaceae), a very common species on the Atlantic coast of France, has a normal Polysiphonia-like life cycle (Sundene, 1964), but some tetraspores can give new tetrasporophytes directly (L’Hardy-Halos, 1985). This phenomenon has now been studied in detail (Magne, 1986).
