Archive image from page 196 of Dansk botanisk arkiv (1913-1981). Dansk botanisk arkiv danskbotaniskark03dans Year: 1913-1981 As a rule it is opposite, but some- times 3—5 or more verticillated bran- ches are found (Fig. 175, 176). These branches are generally, of a very- different strength, some being vigo- rous, others dehcate. Now and then too, a single branchlet is issued from each joint or they are quite destitute of branches. And what especially contributes to make the ramification irregular are the many adventitious branches (Fig. 177). These often grow out below the ordinary branches, but they may also issue almost every- where from the joint e. g., as shown in Fig. 177, from the middle of the joint. Some of the branches, the most vigorous, grow out to main filaments like the mother-branch, but most of them become short branch- lets only. These branchlets are un- divided, or they may bear a single or a few opposite branches. The branchlets taper evenly upwards to their apex. At their base the branchlets are about 100 « thick, at their upper end they often scarcely reach 35/i in diameter. In the main filaments the joints are about 180« thick, somewhat thicker in their upper end, thinner in the lower one; their length reaching 600« or more. Once in a specimen I found a few of the branchlets ending in small attachment discs (Fig. 178). Fig. 177. Corallina cuhensis (Mont.) Kiitz. Joints 'Y\\q base of the with adventitious branches.
