A, part of the wall seen from above and B, transverse section of the wall of a male plant (350:1). 2. Champia salicornoides Harvey. Harvey, W. H., Nereis , p. 76, tab. XIX B. Agardh, J., Epicrisis, p. 305. This species bears a rather close resemblance to Champia parvula not only with regard to its outer habit, but also in its anatomy. Bigelow has pointed this out in his paper quoted above on p. 118. But Champia salicornoides is a much bigger plant and when examined more thoroughly, some anatomical differences also become apparent. The peripheral wall of the frond consists of a single layer of cells, seen from above rectangular—polygonal, about IV2 to 2 times as long as broad; in transverse section the cells are nearly square- shaped. The cells have a rather thick peripheral wall which swells greatly in water. The diaphragms between the joints of the thallus consists of a single layer of cells of irregular, polygonal.
