gis quam in proximis speciebus erectis, Chordariam flagellifor- 

 mem adspectu quodaminodo referens. Ramuli plurimi curvati aut 

 flaccidi, inferiores 2-3 cm. longi, superiores 10-12 mm. longi, basi 

 eximie attenuati, dein cylindracei, apice truncati. In his tetraspo- 

 rangia nidulantur, tum in parte superiore densiora, tum infra me- 

 dium descendentia at sparsiora. Sub lente celluloe superficiales sat 

 elongatae et diametro pluries longiores adparent. Color obscure 

 purpureus Ch. atropurpurew et Ch. ripariw, at characteres neu- 

 trius, in vivo pulchre coeruleo-iridescens. Ch. dasyphyllw chara- 

 cteribus proxima, adspectu dissimilis; sec. Grunow sistit meram 

 varietatem subsecundam speciei nunc memoratse.
