The specimens found (Fig. 42) agree very well with the 

 description of Mrs. Gepp (née Barton) 1. c. In one specimen 



from Coral Bay, the lower- 

 most peltate leaves had 

 no vesicles, these were on 

 the other hand well deve- 

 loped in the upper fructi- 

 fying part of the plant. 



It is found in fruit from 

 December to March. 



T. trialata occurs together 

 with species of Sargassum 

 in the littoral and upper- 

 most sublittoral region and 

 on exposed as well as more 

 sheltered places. 



It is a common species along 

 the shores of the Danish Isles.

The specimens which I have referred to the typical form are 

 very much like the figure given by Turner (1. c). The linear- 

 lanceolate leaves possess a dentate-sinuate margin, a distinct midrib, 

 and quite numerous, but small and irregularly placed cryptosto- 

 mata ; the latter are sometimes very indistinct or quite absent 

 in some of the leaves. 



The vesicles are sometimes few, sometimes numerous ; they 

 are globular, of the size of a small pea, and most often they are 

 without prolongations at the top ; such ones occur, however, now 

 and then. 



The receptacles are cylindric, filiform and irregularly ramified.
