338 THE PLANT PHYLA 



Phylum Vl. RHODOPHYCEAE. The Red Algae 



Red to purple filamentous to massive plants; marine 



Class 13. BAXOIOIDEAE. Antherids and oogones developed 

 from ordinary cells of plant body; 

 propagation by monospores. Red or 

 purple ])lants. (Sp. about 50, doubt- 

 fully belonging here.) 

 Order Bangiales. One chloroplast in each cell. 



Family 1. Bangiaceae. Including the genus Por- 

 phyra. 

 Order Rhodochaetales. Several to many chloroplasts 

 in each cell. 

 Family 2. Rhodochaetaceae; 3, Campsopogonaceae. 

 Class 14. FLORIDEAE. Red Seaweeds. Antherids and 

 oogones specially developed; propaga- 

 tion by tetraspores. Red or purple 

 plants. (Sp. about 3,000.) 

 Order Nemalionales. Lower Red Seaweeds. Mostly 

 filamentous plants. Sporophores pro- 

 duced directly from fertilized eggs. 

 Family 4. Lemaneaceae. 



Family 5. Helminthocladiaceae. Filamentous or 

 parenchymatous, variously branched. 

 — Batrachospermum, Nemahon. 

 Family 6. Thoreaceae; 7, Chaetangiaceae; 8, Geli- 

 diaceae. 

 Order Cryptonemiales. Hard Red Seaweeds. Filiform, 

 branched, often complanate; sporo- 

 phores produced by remote auxiliary 

 cells. 

 Family 9. Gloiosiphoniaceae; 10, Grateloupiaceae; 

 11, Dumontiaceae; 12, Nemasto- 

 maceae; 13, RhiziphyUidaceae; 14, 

 Squamariaceae. 

 Family 15. Corallinaceae. Filamentous, branched 

 (and jointed) to crustaceous. — Coral- 

 lina. 

 Order Ceramiales. "Sea Mosses." Fihform to folia- 

 ceous plants. Sporophores produced 

 by nearby auxiliary cells.
