The siib- vegetatlon consists of Gigartina mamillosa, l'olysiphonia urceolata, Acrosiplwiiia, Comllina, etc. The illustra- tion is taken from Midvaag. (F. B. phot.) on a sheltered coast, where however it is rare, it always grows sublittorally in low water and often has another appearance. The receptacles are uneven, somelimes inflated, and the colour of the plant becomes a lighter yellowish-brown. As a subvegetation to the HimanthaliQ-associniion, Gigartina mamillosa, Acrosiphonia, Polysiphonia urceolata, and others often oc- cur besides Corallina (see fig. 155). Elachista scutiilata has occa- sionally been found growing on the receptacles, and on the old piants a great many epiphytes are sheltered, especially species oi Edocarpiis e. g. E. fasciciilatus, E. Himksiæ, E. iomenlosus and E. litoralis, species.
