Abstract

---

Dictyopteris divaricata (Okamura) Okamura, a dichotomously branched brown alga of the family Dictyotaceae, was collected from Buleji, the coastal area of Karachi (Pakistan) during March 2008 and April 2010. It was investigated in detail for its morphology, anatomy and reproduction. Surface cells and internal structures of the thallus were studied in detail for the first time. This is the first detailed study of this species from the coast of Karachi.
