About the Natural Species Being Replicated
Rhodophyllis divaricata is a species of red algae found throughout portions of the northeastern Atlantic and surrounding waters. Its natural range includes the British Isles, Shetland Islands, Channel Islands, Mediterranean, Azores, Portugal, Spain, France, Baltic region, and Canary Islands.
In nature, Rhodophyllis divaricata develops from a disc-shaped holdfast and forms thin, flattened blades. The blades have an irregular branching growth pattern and can vary considerably in shape, with additional branching frequently developing along the margins.
As a member of the Rhodophyta, or red algae, Rhodophyllis divaricata belongs to one of the largest and most diverse groups of marine algae.
