It may be described as a Ch. sejuncta, condensata, ecorticata, nudifolia. It is entirely without cortex on either stem or leaf. It differs from Fig- 53- sejuncta in the stipules which are usually very long and slender, in the bracts which are much longer than the fruit and verticellate, and in the coronula of the sporo- phydium which is broad and low, 186 by 80 high, cells closely connivent.

Nu- cleus 600 long, 405 broad, black, with fourteen sharp angles. Antheridium, 265 in diam., usually separate from the sporophydium on the same leaf or in different verticils. For the present, until the species can be studied in its fresh state and variations noted (all specimens of the present gathering present uniform characters), this must be known as Britten's Chara (Fig. 53).. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Allen, Timothy Field, 1837-1902.
