Low intertidal, on rock.
Oblong in shape and ruffled.
Dissecting scope photo shows surface of plant, compound scope photo shows reproduction.
Project collection # VAN.056
Update 06 June 2020: Sample has been DNA barcoded and correct species name confirmed. The correct name for BC specimens identified as "Wildemania cuneiformis" is now known to be "Wildemania amplissima" based on DNA sequence similarity.
