Ceramium deslongchampsii is a small marine red alga in the Division Rhodophyta.
This species is a relatively small alga growing as dense tufts to no more than 12 cm long. Grows as densely branched monosiphonous axes[1] consisting of large cells showing cortication only at the nodes.[2][3] It branches pseudodichotomously but with abundant adventitious branches. The tips of the branches are straight or slightly in-rolled and without spines. The prostrate axes are attached by rhizoids.[2]
Reproduction
Spermatangial sori, cystocarps and tetrasporangia are recorded.[2]
