Of dinner plate, cochlear and pacman corallines: seven common intertidal encrusting red seaweeds of the Cape Peninsula
(Botanical Society of South Africa, 2001)
In the fifth and final part of this series of articles on common intertidal seaweeds of the Cape Peninsula, we look at encrusting coralline algae. These encrusting coralline and red seaweeds are widespread in shallow waters ...
