Fig. 4. Rhipilia baculifera. (a) Specimen in situ at type locality at Point Lonsdale, Victoria, growing among the seagrass Amphibolis antarctica. (b) Freshly collected specimens, with a limited basal aggregation of siphons. (c) Pressed specimen dredged from deep water, south of Rottnest Island, with a substantial stipe. (d) Closer view of aggregated siphons at base of specimens in Fig. 4b. (e) Free siphons that are dichotomously divided with occasional shallow constrictions. A reproductive tuft is developing at the apex of the right-hand siphon. (f) View of densely branched reproductive tuft, with moniliform lower siphons. Scale bars: 2 cm (b, c); 1 mm (d–f). Voucher: (a, b) H.Verbruggen HV03984 (MELU); (c) C.Sim s.n. (PERTH 08822182); (d–f) living material, vouchers not retained. Photos: H. Verbruggen (a, b, d–f); J. M. Huisman (c).
