Much branched, brown seaweeds of the three most edible kinds.

Two species of widely branched brown seaweed (Dictyopteris plagiogramma and D. Australis), considered very palatable. Referred to commonly as limu, they appeal as a delicacy of crunchy crispness at a Hawaiian lūʻau. They are widely distributed on Oʻahu, growing far out on the outer margin of coral reefs.
