Its members are known by a number of common names.Recorded common names are olann dhearg, craonach, cúnach triosgar, cluaisíní, mileara, millreacha, salata tou yialou (σαλάτα του γιαλού) and lobster horns. It is in the order Ceramiales and family Rhodomelaceae. Description ''Polysiphonia'' is a red algae, polysiphonous and usually well branched, with some plants reaching a length of about 30 cm. They are attached by rhizoids or haptera to a rocky surface or other alga. The thallus (tissue) consists of fine branched filaments each with a central axial filament supporting pericentral cells. The number of these pericentral cells (4–24) is used in identification. ''Polysiphonia elongata'' shows a central axial cell with 4 periaxial cells with cortical cells ...
