Lobophora (alga)

Lobophora is a genus of thalloid brown alga comprising approximately ten species. The thalli are flattened against the substrate or erect and grow from a matted, rhizoidal holdfast. The fronds are up to 20 cm (8 in) long and are broadly fan-shaped or have irregularly arranged lateral branches. The sporangial sori are scattered on both surfaces of the thalli or are arranged in concentric bands.[2]
