Diagnosis | At Navulivatu Settlement, Serua, Fiji, thalli of G. maramae were about 2 mm. G. maramae generally has long internodal distances and is not profusely branched, so often resembles spaghetti noodles. Plant length can be up to 500 mm though 200 mm is typical Plants were found individually scattered on sandy substrates, attached by a holdfast to pieces of shell and were slightly translucent golden brown in colour (Ref. 82232). G. maramae has a long, sparsely branched and quite thick thallus that gives it a characteristic spaghetti-noodles appearance (Ref. 82232). |
