On the Cytology of Two Species of Dictyosphaeria Decaisne

Abstract

Two species of Dictyosphaeria (i.e. D. covernosa (Forsk.) Borgs, and D. intermedia var. solida) were collccted from Indian coasts. A comparativc study of their morphological and cytologicat featurcs has rcvcalcd that thcsc two species are morphologically and cytologicaily distinct. The chromosome numbers dctermined for D. intermedia var. solida and D. cavernosa are 14 and 24 respectively. © 1974, Walter de Gruyter. All rights reserved.
