Halophila Spinulosa
''Halophila'' is a genus of seagrasses in the family ''Hydrocharitaceae'', the tape-grasses. It was described as a genus in 1806. The number of its contained species, and its own placement in the order Alismatales, has evolved. Description These oceanic herbs grow underwater and have creeping stoloniferous stems and leafy nodes. Unlike other seagrasses, the leaves of some species of ''Halophila'' do not have basal sheaths (i.e. the bases of the leaves do not wrap around the stem to form a sheath). The flowers are unisexual. The male flowers are borne on stems. The parts occur in multiples of three along a single row. The female flowers do not have stalks. They are divided into three segments. The single chambered ovary has a long beak. The three style are long and simple. The ovules are attached on top of three placentas. The fruit is included in the bract surrounding the inflorescence (the spathe) and crowned by a beak. They have many seeds and thick embryos. Distribution ...

Halophila Johnsonii
''Halophila johnsonii'', or Johnson's seagrass, is a small, asexual seagrass in the family Hydrocharitaceae (the "tape-grasses"). It occurs only on the southeastern coast of Florida, and was the first marine plant listed on the United States endangered species list, where it is listed as a threatened species. Female flowers have been observed, but even with decade long observational studies, neither male flowers nor seed have ever been observed.National Marine Fisheries Service. 2002. ''Recovery plan for Johnson's Seagrass (''Halophila johnsonii'')''. Prepared by the Johnson's Seagrass Recovery Team for the National Marine Fisheries Service, Silver Spring, Marylan/ref> It may have the most limited distribution of all seagrasses. It occurs only in lagoons along roughly 200 km of the Florida coastline between Sebastian Inlet and the northern part of Biscayne Bay, where it grows in small patches of a few centimeters to a few meters in diameter at depths ranging from th ...

It is a small herbaceous plant that occurs in sea beds and other saltwater environments in the Indo-Pacific. The first description of the species was by Robert Brown as ''Caulinia ovalis'', this was transferred to the genus ''Halophila'' by Joseph Dalton Hooker in ''Flora Tasmaniae'' (1858). The species name ''Halophila ovata'' is now regarded as a synonym of this species. The plant occurs around reefs, estuaries, islands, inter-tidal areas, on soft sand or mud substrates. The leaves are ovate in outline, appearing on stems that emerge from beneath the sand. The roots get up to 800&nb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
