Batrachospermum
one of the few genera of freshwater red algae. Includes about 50 species. Branched thalli up to 10 cm tall, with distinctly visible blue-green sprouts, carry the organs of sexual reproduction. The carpospores that develop as a result of the sexual process grow into microscopic thalli (Chantransia stage), which reproduce asexually—by monospores. Side shoots of these thalli develop into new macroscopic Batrachospermum plants. IU. E. PETROV Want to thank TFD for its existence?
