 View of surfgrass with epiphytes on it. An observer should note that surfgrass is a site for epiphytes such as two common species of seaweed (Melobesia mediocris and Smithora naiadum), but also home for other marine organisms. This was from the beds of surfgrass at Fort Point, San Francisco Bay. |
 This is an over view of Phyllospadix scouleri showing the entire plant with flowering stems of the plant which are called spadices (spadix = singular). A diagnostic feature of Phyllospadix scouleri is that it only bears one or two spadices. |
