The genus Seirospora is represented in Britain by one species only, the beautiful Seirospora Griffithsiaaa (Fig. 193). The generic name, signifying "chain of seeds," very aptly characterises the fruitful cells, which are produced in strings or chains, being in fact, transformations of the terminal joints of the ultimate ramuli of the tufted fastigiate branches, as represented at Fig. 193 ; tetraspores, properly so-called, being also produced in strings, but scattered on various parts of the plant, and suspended on peduncles or short stalks. This charming species has all the appearance of a Callithamnicm, and indeed Professor Agardh describes it under the name of CallUhamnion seirospermum ; however, the general opinion of algolojjists seems to be in favour of Seirospora, and as such, I am content to let it remain. The fronds are tufted, and have each a main stem from 3in. to 6in. hisrh, set on each side with numeioas.
