Plate 35 from Algae Danmonienses: A Stunning Display of Codium tomentosus, a Velvet Horn Seaweed Specimen Collected by Mary Wyatt in Devonshire (1834-1840) This exquisite plate, number 35 from Algae Danmonienses, showcases the intricate beauty of Codium tomentosus, a species of green algae also known as spongeweed or velvet horn. Mary Wyatt, a dedicated naturalist, collected this specimen from the coastal waters of Devonshire during the period of 1834-1840. Codium tomentosus is a member of the Chlorophyta division, the largest and most diverse group of eukaryotic organisms, which includes green algae and many other plant-like organisms. This particular species belongs to the Bryopsidophyceae class, and more specifically, the Bryopsidales order. The Codiaceae family is its taxonomic home. The Codium tomentosus seaweed is characterized by its delicate, velvety appearance, with tiny, hair-like structures covering its surface. These hairs provide the seaweed with a protective layer, helping it to attach to various substrates, such as rocks or other marine organisms. The green coloration of the algae is due to the presence of chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis. This remarkable specimen, preserved and carefully documented by Mary Wyatt, offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the marine environment that existed during the early 19th century. As a testament to Wyatt's meticulous work, this plate remains an invaluable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike, showcasing the intricate details of this beautiful and fascinating seaweed species.
