Non-geniculate coralline algae (NGCA), Corallinophycidae - Rhodophyta, are characterized by prominent calcified vegetative thalli. They exhibit broad phenotypic plasticity, and morphoanatomical convergences due to the simplicity of their thalli. These characteristics makes their taxonomy one of the...
