Harvey describes the frond as three inches long; my specimens reach a length of up to 16 cm. The stems are set at short intervals with branches, spreading out on all sides longest in the middle of the frond, shorter upwards and down- wards. These branches bear again branch- lets placed in the same manner and the branchlets again ramuli. Harvey says Fig. 76. Liagom pinnata ^-j^^^^ ^j^g ramuli are "often opposite" but Harv. Part of a plant. , . , .,, ^ (About 3:1). this does not agree with my observations. For the rest I refer to Harvey's good description of the dried plant; his comparison of the very uneven surface with "pepper and salt" is very strik- ing , darker red- brown dots protru- ding over the whitish coating originating from the upper end of the assimilating filaments and cysto- carps. The central nearly or quite colourless filaments in the thal- lus consist of long more or less cylin- drical cells tapering usually somewhat near their ends (Fig. 77 a); these cells are about bOju thick and about 8 times their own length; but some.
