Habitat. Among sponges and on rocks, between 

 tidemarks, Budleigh-Salterton, Devon, Mr. Carter. Off 

 coast of Florida, U.S., dredged by Pourtales (fide 

 Schmidt). Roundstone Bay, Ireland (Norman). 



The finest specimen I have seen of H. ramulosa 

 is one for which I am indebted to the kindness of Mr. 

 Carter, and which, from a pedicel of almost a quarter 

 of an inch high, becomes suddenly multiraraose, and 

 terminates in seventeen heads.*
