No cortical layer is found, but from the basal cells of the more vigorous branches a rhizoid-like filament often emerges (Fig. 194 d), growing downwards along the main stem, but generally not attached to it. In the lowermost part of the plant, as mentioned above, these rhizoids reach down to the host plant and fasten themselves to it, but higher up it may happen that they attach themselves to a branch

Mesothamnion caribaeum nov. spec, a, part of an antheridial plant, b, antherial stands, c—h, development of antheridial stand. (a, about 50:1; b, about 125:1; c—g, about 300:1; h, about 450:1). The plant is much ramified (Fig. 195), the branches issuing multilaterally to all sides. As mentioned above some of the branches grow out vigorously like the main stem, but most of them are not so much developed. These smaller branches are in the same way multilaterally ramified, bearing repeatedly pseudo- dichotomously ramified branch].ets on all sides. The branchlets are longest at the base of the branches, higher up shorter and at the same time bent upwards, the whole branch in this way 14*.
