 Half-moon Bay, Stewart Island : R. M. L. 



The following is Reinbold's description : ' Bostrychia mi- 

 nuta (usque 15 mm. alta) capillaris, tota corticata, a surculis 

 repentibus et radicantibus intricatis erectiuscula, parce late- 

 raliter (vel subdichotome) ramosa ; ramis elongatis (junioribus 

 leviter incurvis adultioribus strictis) hie illic apice furcatis, 

 subacutis, raro ramulis obsessis, stichidiis ovali-lanceolatis longe 

 pedicellatis acumine sterili superatis ; siphonibus 7 (inferiore 

 parte) substantia admodum rigida. Chartae vix adhaeret." 



"As to the habit our plant resembles in some degree B. sim- 

 pliciuscula, B. intricata, and B. vaga ; but the fronds of the two 

 former species are articulated, not corticated ; besides, in B. 

 simpliciuscida the rooting apparatus is turned in a peculiar 

 manner. B. vaga is amidst all Bostrychias sharply characterized 

 by the simple much curved (adult) branches, which are evi- 

 dently (even for the naked eye) incrassated above the middle. 

 Besides, the cortication of B. vaga is less dense than that of our 

 plant." — (Reinbold, in letter to Author.)
