Ecological and systematic studies of the Ceylon species of Caulerpa ecologicalsystem00unse Year: 1906 Fig. 28.—C. Chemnitzia (esp.) lam. f. ad peltatam (1 x 1). Fig. 27.—C. Chemnitzia (esp.) lam.

A closer examination of this species shows, however, that it has not always these types of branchlets but that it varies very considerably, and these variations may point in different directions. One type of variation is to be seen in fig. 28 and fig 29 : the cylindrical basal axes are rather few, but on the other hand the trumpet-shaped axes begin very early, and they constitute the majority of the branchlets, ultimately to change—and it is this that is most noteworthy—into typical peltata branches with large discs and a sharp hmit between disc and stalk (fig. 28.) Herein we can see a good example of the fact that C. Chemnit- zia can go over to C. peltata and that the supposed relationship between C. Chemnitzia and C. peltata, as supposed by former autliors, , Decaisne, Zanardini, is fuUy justified. 49-06
