Codium cylindricum Holmes, type definition herbarium specimen pressed
Codium is a genus of edible green macroalgae (or seaweeds) under the order Bryopsidales. The genus name is derived from a Greek word that pertains to the soft texture of its thallus. One of the foremost experts on Codium taxonomy was Paul Claude Silva at the University of California, Berkeley.[1][2] P.C. Silva was able to describe 36 species for the genus and in honor of his work on Codium,[1] the species C. silvae was named after the late professor.[3]
