Sporangium cut vertically (mag.). stem being converted into starchy tubers of various shapes, or by whitish crustaceouS bulbils, developed at the joints of the stems. Stems tubular, cylindric, leafless, jointed, sometimes transparent and flexible, even after being dried {Nitella); sometimes opaque and fragile, even before being dried {Ghara); often covered with calcareous salts, usually branched; joints composed of a cylindric tubular cell, naked {Nitella), or clothed with a sort of sheath formed of smaller tubes united together, and giving rise on the outer surface to longitudinal and oblique striae {Ghara); the joints or tubes are filled with a coloui'less liquid, in which pale green granules float; their inner wall is covered with green uniform granules, arranged in a chaplet ot longitudinal parallel very regular series, and more or less pressed together; these Series are oblique with relation to the axis of the tube, an obliquity which is the result of the greater or less twisting of the tube. The series of green granules covers the whole inner surface of the tube, with the excep- tion of 2 parallel opposite bands, which are quite free f
