Atractophora is a monotypic genus of red algae of the family Atractophoraceae (within the Order Atractophorales).[2] It only contains one known species Atractophora hypnoides P.L.Crouan & H.M.Crouan, 1848.[3]
It is found in the European Atlantic Ocean, close to the coasts of Great Britain and Denmark.[4] Tt has a very simple type of vegetative growth. It has lateral filaments which are at an irregular sequence, becoming quadriverticillate (type of branching pattern). A second whorl can be produced under the first growth, especially in tips of fertile thalli (green shoots).[5]
