Gorallina chilensis Decaisne 

 Plate 62 



Decaisne in Harvey 1847, p. 103; Smith 1944, p. 230, pi. 51, fig. 4. 



These plants closely resemble material from I. San Lorenzo, Callao, 

 Peru, in the writer's herbarium ; but they are a little more sturdy than 

 fragmentary material from Antofagasto, Chile, probably had been, both 

 of which specimens the writer ascribes to C. chilensis. They are a little 

 less closely pinnate and slightly larger and more irregular than Are- 

 schoug's Phyc. Extraeurop. Exsic. no. 68 from Peru, as well as the plant 

 illustrated by Kiitzing (1858, p. 32, pi. 66, fig. 1). The specimen under 

 this name in Phyc. Bor.-Amer. no. 499 from California differs from all 

 in its more markedly flattened distal segments.

Gorallina gracilis Lamouroux 



This material is much more closely branched than Phyc. Bor.-Amer. 

 no. 399 from California, but the plants in form of the branches and 

 branchlets are closer to it than to C. officinalis L. 



Mexico: Baja California, in littoral pools at South Bay, I. Cerros, 

 no. 34-645 A, 10 Mar. 1934.

Plants 10 cm tall from a crustose base, the erect axes clustered, spar- 

 ingly divided, when fully developed closely radially beset with short pin- 

 nately divided branches; lateral branches with short cuneate to deltoid 

 somewhat compressed axial segments, the ultimate segments near the 

 base of the plant cuneate, flat, but above the lateral ultimate branchlets
