单词 | coralline |
释义 | corallinen.1 A name given originally to organisms thought to resemble or be of the nature of coral, but of more minute size, less firm texture, etc.Probably first given to the calcareous sea-weed Corallina officinalis (sense 1 below); but also including the compound animal organisms of plant-like habit growing in the sea, then thought to be plants. When the animal nature of coral was recognized, the corallines (including Corallina) were transferred to the animal kingdom. More accurate knowledge has since separated senses 1, 2 The animal ‘corallines’ have moreover been found to belong to entirely distinct zoological divisions, some of them (Polyzoa) being Cœlomata, others (Hydrozoa) being Cœlenterata; hence the name is no longer a term of Zoology, though retained in popular use, as in ‘a collection of sea-weeds and corallines’. 1. a.
