A densely branched jslant witli some of the relatively large seg- ments which conmionly occur in the lower portion of robust, mature thalli. Specimen from Florida, 31 III 04, Howe 2964. Plants generally compact, forming cushion-like clumps but occasionally loose, arising from a small but distinct holdfast region, to 18 cm tall; calcification light; branching mainly ditrichotomous but polychotomous from large segments; the basal first or second segments subcylindrical or broadly cuneate and often of a substipitate nature; other segments usually plane, commonly discoidal to reniform but also compressed-cylindrical, cuneate or subcuneate, the outer margin entire, undulating or occasionally somewhat deeply cleft, to 29 mm long, 33 mm broad and averaging 0-75-1-25 mm in thickness. Cortex of two, occasionally three layers of utricles; outermost utricles remaining firmly attached after decalcification for an average distance of.
