. Breviora. 1967 HYDROID OF VANNUCCIA FORBESII. Figure 1. Vannuccia jorbesii, adult hydroid with medusae buds. Drawn by Ilona Richter. The medusa buds develop in clusters on short blastostyles. As the buds are naked, the one tentacle of each bud can be seen in the more advanced stages of the medusa formation. The liberated medusae are mm high. The exumbrella is apple shaped and somewhat asymmetrical. Young medusae show all the features of the specific characters of the adult medusae with the exception of the gonads, which develop later. This is typical of the Cory- morpha-Tubularia gro
