A well marked and easily recognized species, first noticed bythe late Capt.

When s -2 found on rocks the patches are often of much greater extent,spreading over the surface for many feet, when the plant maybe compared to pieces of rough, dark-green plush. There isalways a peculiarly rigid, harsh feel by which this plant maybe distinguished from C. scopuiorum. From C. pannosa it differsin its shorter filaments, and the more tooth-like bundles intowhich they are aggregated. Fig. 1. Patch of Calothrix hydnoides :—the natural size. 2. Tooth-likefascicles, from the same:—slightly magnified. 3 and 4. Filaments, and apices of the same :—more highly magnified. Tlate CCCK. uF3EF*7>^8r-
