Before the feeds are ripe, the tubercles appear as reprefented in 

 Gmelin's figure, and have conftantly one or two furrows acrofs 

 them. They are fituated on the upper part of the frond, but not 

 on the extreme divifions, and are ufually diftant, but fometimes two 

 or three are found aggregate. 



This fpecies is readily diftinguifhed from all its affinities, by its 

 expanded leathery root — its very different mode of fructifying — its 

 very acute terminations — and by its brighter and more tranfparent 

 purple colour, which is clearly discernible when dry, if the plant be 

 held to a ftrong light. 



It grows on the large (tones at Cromer on the coaft of Norfolk, 

 and is found amongft other rejectamenta at Yarmouth and other 

 places to the Southward.
