In the younger parts of the branches the cortical layer consists of alternating rows of cells as described above for the typical form, and like this one the ends of the branches and branchlets often end in tendrils. The ramuli, too, except for the absence, of the uncinate spines, seem quite to agree with those of the typical form. They are bent upwards, having a rather broad base, about 60^, and tapering gradu- ally towards their summit which consists of a rather long, mucronate tip. At the base the cells are about as long as broad, higher up about 1^/2 as long as broad. This species has been found in shallow water in more or less sheltered locahties and in deep water down to a depth of about 30 meters. It is mostly an epiphyte fastened to other algæ..
