Gymnogongrus flabelliformis Harv.

Japanese: オキツノリ(英語表記)Gymnogongrus flabelliformis Harv.
Gymnogongrus flabelliformis Harv.
A red alga of the Celastraceae family (illustration) that often grows in colonies in shallow intertidal tide pools. The stem is 1.5-2mm wide and somewhat flat. It branches repeatedly into a fork shape, forming a fan shape 3-8cm high. It grows lying face down on rocks, so its body has a front and back. It is found throughout Japan from southern Hokkaido to Kyushu, as well as along the coasts of China and Korea. Because of its beautiful shape, it is sometimes used as a garnish for sashimi, but because it is hard, it is rarely eaten. [Chihara Mitsuo]

潮間帯の浅いタイドプールによく群生するオキツノリ科の紅藻(イラスト)。茎は幅1.5~2mmでやや平たい。叉(さ)状に分枝を繰り返して,全体は高さ3~8cmの扇状となる。岩上に伏すように生育するので,体には表と裏がある。北海道南部から九州にかけての日本各地,さらに中国,朝鮮の沿岸に分布する。形の良さから刺身のつまとして使われることがあるが,質が固いため食用にすることは少ない。【千原 光雄】
