Bull Kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) is a brown algae that can grow up to 118 ft tall, with a single hollow stalk topped by a carbon-monoxide-filled pneumatocyst and dozens of long blades. It is the only kelp known to drop spore patches near its holdfast, ensuring the right concentration of spores settles nearby.
