" Penicillus dumetosus grew in some abundance in a pool near Man- 

 chioneal. The pool was narrow, with precipitous tufa walls, which 

 towards the sea closed over the pool in an arch, through which the waves 

 broke heavily. The Penicillus grew among eel-grass, in muddy soil, 

 covered by a coating of powdered shell and coral. With it were P. 

 capitatus, Avrainvillea longicaulis, and Halimedas. The P. dumetosus 

 looked like miniature groves of carefully trimmed evergreen trees, gray 

 green in color."
