[t is hardly more than o cm. high, with all of its parts thin and 

 weak. The conceptacles are either sessile or pedunculated and are 

 found at the apical portion of the frond agglomerating in a confused 

 manner, hence the name. The genicula are comparatively large 

 seeming as the brownish spots over the fronds. 



It covers large patches of rocks at high tide mark. At the first 

 sight we perceive a granular mass on a rock, which after examing is 

 known to be the agglomerated conceptacles wholy covering the 

 vegetative portion of the fronds. Hakodate.
