Submarine rocks, on almost all our coasts. If.. Winter. — Of this 

 again Mr. Turner enumerates several varieties: — «• lacer; leaves dicho- 

 tomous, segments linear, apices obtuse. Turn. — y. steUahuj apices of 

 the leaves cleft into very numerous narrow segments. Turn. — I. Jim- 

 briatus ; leaves fringed at the margin. Turn. — s. latifolius ; leaves mem- 

 branaceous semi-orbicular, multifid in a palmate manner, segments short- 

 ish rounded at the apices. Turn. — £. roseus ,- stipes simple, expanded at 

 its apex into a single, oblong, simple leaf. Turn. — n. anguslissimut ; leaves 

 very narrow, nearly linear, irregularly divided, proliferous from the mar- 

 gin. Turn. 



4. C. Brodceii, Grev. (Mr. Brodies Chondrus) ; stipes cy- 

 lindrical branched, the branches expanding- into oblong- mera- 

 branaceo-cartilag-inous simple or forked flat seg-ments, capsules 

 sphaerical sessile upon the apices of the segments. — Grev. Air/.

East coast of Scotland, on submarine rocks, frequent. — £. Coast of 

 Devon, Mrs. Griffiths. — On the var. /S. are frequently dark red vpots in

 which is deciduous, and leaves a scar behind. 



36. Phyllophora. Grev. Phyllophora. 



Frond cartilaginous or membranaceous, of a purple rose-red 

 colour, plane, proliferous from the disk, furnished with a more 

 or less imperfect or obscure midrib. Fructification; — 1. Cap- 

 sules containing a mass of minute roundish free seeds; — 2. 

 Sort of simple granules, in little foliaceous processes. (In 

 two species, the nemathecia of Agardli, or a thickened mass of 

 jointed filarm nts, have been observed, but no granules*) Grey* 

 Alg. Brit. j). 135. t. 15. — Name <pv~/.}.o'., a leaf, and tpop-u to biar. 

 from the proliferous nature of the frond. 



1. P. nibens, Grev. (red Phyllophora); stipes very abort, 

 expanding into a iinear-cuneate frond obscurely ribbed and re- 

 peatedly branched with proliferous shoots resembling the pri- 

 mary frond, capsules on the dish of the frond hemispherical Sea- 

 ttle very rugose. Grev. Ala. lint. p. !:;.">. t, 15. — S p h a roc*
