specimens of Sphacdaria scoparia in its denuded state ; it is 

 niucli more bushy und tree-like than any other Zunaria, and its 

 laminae, though formed on a flabclliform type, are so deeply cut 

 into numerous slender shreds that they appear almost like tufts 

 of filaments. In old fronds especially the distichous character 

 is nearly lost by overcrowding. 



It is far from uncommon on the exposed shores of Victoria, 

 and seems to be sufficiently well marked specifically by its finely 

 divided fronds.
