 filaments. Filaments profusely branching in sympodial succession or 

 arising subfasciculately, having branches and branchlets standing in alter-

 more or less curved, and upper ramuli which are mostly longer than the 

 lower ones often emit root fibres by which filaments are kept together ; 

 septa are here and there seen in upper ramuli, but not at the place 

 where branches arise. Wall of filaments 10-20 // thick (sometimes 30 /') in 

 thicker portion of frond, but in thinner ones, 3-14 //. Diameter of fila-
