leaves.Femare numerous, very minute grains scattered near 
the nerve on each side of the leaf. However it is possible that 
these red vesicles are real capsules, and that the granulated ap. 
pearance proceeds from the capsules having burst and discharged 
their seeds. Woopwarp. Linn. tr. ii. 30. One single globu- 
lar vesicle in which minute grains may sometimes be found, 
appears to be the complement to each leaf, a ee 
which passes through the centre of these g' » Major

When the leafy membranaceous substance which edges the rib

Tall, forked, strap-shaped, compressed: set with raised, 
blunt tubercles. Linn. is plant at its first appearance so 
much resembles a Fungus, that some authors have mistaken At 
for one. Ray seems to have described it as adistinct species 
under the name of ‘ Fucus Fungis affinis.” Syz. p. 43.2, 15. 
From the centre of the little Fungus-like substance 3 or 4 shoots 
arise, and extending by degrees, into branches, constitute the 
perfect plant. The little Fungus still continues and forms a 
_ of cup at the base of the stem.
