Mc. Hernandezgonzalez et Mc. Gilrodriguez, EXISTENCE OF PLANTS BEARING TETRASPORANGIA AND SPERMATANGIAL RECEPTACLES (MIXED PHASES) IN THE GENUS LAURENCIA LAMOUROUX (RHODOMELACEAE), Nova Hedwigia, 59(1-2), 1994, pp. 189-194
With the aim of determining the phenology of Laurencia pinnatifida (Hu
dson) Lamouroux, in Tenerife (Canary Islands), a periodical observatio
n was carried out during one year, in which sterile, male, female, tet
rasporangial and mixed phases plants were observed. The existence of s
pecimens bearing tetrasporangia and spermatangial receptacles (mixed p
hases) constitutes a novelty within the genus Laurencia Lamouroux.
