This marine phanerogam comes ver^^ near Cymodocea ciliata 

 Ehrenb., from which it differs in having the smaller feature, 

 elongate internodes of the rhizome, much shorter branches, 

 fewer nerves of leaves, and not emarginato-retuse apex and not 

 scarious apical margin of the lamina, etc ; it is more closeh' 

 allied to C. antarctica Endl., which has the leavers of the 

 truncate apex with acute angles or teeth (after Bentham) or 

 " semilunati emarginata " apex (after Graebner),
