About 6 inches high. Root discoid, shooting out immedi- 
ately into numerous principal branches which have sometimes 
the fleshy bulb imbedded, at other times there are smaller conical 
roots at each side which send out branches. Upper parts of the 
plant much branched. Olive coloured when young, reddish 
when fully grown. ‘The bulbs are evidently intended for one 
mode of propagation, When torn off by the waves, a branch 
from the principal stem often resembles an onion sprouting up. 
It is of a spongy soft texture, which added to the convenience 
of its imbricated bark for receiving seeds, causes it to be so 
infested with other Fuci, Conferve, &c. as to be quite over- 
whelmed, and it is also the favourite residence of many Zoo- 
phites. Srackouse.
