CYSTOPHORA PANICULATA, J. 4. 
Gy. Cuar. Root scutate. Frond pinnately decompound, dendroid, with 
a distinct stem, branches, and ramuliform leaves. /esicdes stipitate, 
simple, rarely absent. Receptacles pod-like, torulose or moniliform, 
developed in the ramuli. Scaphidia hermaphrodite. Spores obovoid. 
—Cysrornora (J. dg.), from xvotis, a bladder, and dope, to bear. 
Radix scutata. Frons pinnatim decomposita, dendroidea, caule proprio, ramis 
foliisque ramuliformibus donata. Vesicule stipitate, simplices, raro nulle. 
Receptacula siliqueformia, torulosa v. nodulosa, apice ramulorum evoluta. 
Scaphidia hermaphrodita. 
CysropHora paniculata; root branching; stem terete, decompoundly 
branched ; branches spreading to all sides, bent down at their inser- 
tion, naked or laxly alternately spinulose at base, ramuliferous above ; 
ultimate ramuli crowded, setaceo-subulate, simple or forked ; recep- 
tacles in tufts at the ends of the smaller branches, nodulose, obtuse ; 
vesicles none.

Gerocr. Distr. South coasts of New Holland. Tasmania. 
Descr. Root branching, with many clasping fibres. Stem several feet long, as 
thick as goose-quill near the base, where it throws off several stem-like 
branches (secondary stems) which are bent downwards at their insertion. 
These secondary stems are undivided, 2 or more feet long, as thick as crow- 
quill, filiform, smooth or distantly spinuliferous, throwing out numerous 
lateral branches, from 8-12 inches or more in length. ‘These lateral (essey’) 
branches are bare of branchlets at base or throughout their lower half, and 
densely beset above with ¢ertiary ramuli, spreading to all sides. ‘The fer- 
diary branchlets are 2-4 inches long, closely covered with filiform, seta-
