To the Phaeophyceae belong the Phaeosporse, theDictyotaceae, and the Fucacese. The Phaeosporse haveconjugating and non-conjugating motile spores, allmoving about by the aid of two cilia. To this groupbelong the greater number of brown algae : the slenderfilamentous Ectocarpus family, of which many members BROWN ALG^ 139 lead a parasitic life on other algae ; and the big Lamm-arise, the crust-forming Ralfsiae so easily overlooked ;Asperococcus, with its saclike frond

When young they consist of a hold-fast, a stipe, anda linear or expanded blade, which undergoes manychanges in the different genera. They live in the 140 THE PLANTS
