Description Thallus widely expanded, up to several (5-7) cm in length, dark blue-green or black-green, brown to yellowish brown. Filaments very long, often strongly curved or wavy, rarely slightly coiled. Sheaths colourless, when young thin, un-lamellated, later very wide, lamellated, outside rough, up to 15 μm thick. Tri-homes cylindrical, blue-green, blackish, dull-green, brownish green or grey violet to reddish violet, 15-20-40-60 (80?) μm wide, not constricted at the ungranulated cross-walls, not attenuated at the ends. Cells very short, discoid, 1/6-1/15x as long as wide, 2-4 (8) μm long; apical cells rounded, without calyptra. [details]
Distribution Marine, on rocks or sand in the upper supra- and lower littoral and coastal zones, in mangroves, shallow bays, sometimes on macroalgae, rarely floating, distributed worldwide, pantropical species, possibly cosmopolitan, but surely not in cold seas; sometimes grows in massive mats (registered mainly in northern and eastern Australia, Indonesia, and SE Africa - Zanzibar); records from tropical and subtropical freshwaters, and moist soils among mosses near thermal springs, represent evidently other special species; (compare L. latissima, L. magnifica and others). [details]
Harmful effect This species is known to produce the dermatotoxin lyngbyatoxin and to be the cause of "Swimmer's itch" when in direct contact with human skin. [details]Unreviewed
Environment In both fresh and sea water situations in India, Burma and Ceylon. [details]
Remark Drouet (1968: 263, 295) chose a specimen in LD as the lectotype of this species and assigned it to
Microcoleus lyngbyaceus (Kützing) P. Crouan & H. Crouan. [details]
