Plate 52, fig. 8 



Fronds microscopic, composed of irregularly and alternately 

 branched filaments penetrating among the cells of the host ; fructi- 

 ferous ramuli decidedly aggregated, forming corymb-like clusters near 

 the surface of the host ; cells mostly cylindrical, in part irregular, 

 4-5/x diam., 1.5-4 times as long; chromatophore band-shaped, not 

 covering the cell ; zoosporangia unknown ; gametangia cylindrical to 

 slightly fusiform, blunt, terminal on short pedicels, borne in clusters, 

 or sessile on filaments creeping near the surface of the host, 25-35/* 

 long, 4.5-5.5/* broad; loculi uniseriate, dividing walls frequently 

 oblique. 



Growing on Cumagloha Andersonii (Farlow) S. and G., in com- 

 pany with Streblonema anomalum and 8. Johnstonae. San Pedro, 

 California.
