This is a very graceful little zoophyte. The shoots 

 are simple, divided into internodes with alternate pinnae 

 Ihe calycles are cup-shaped and closely packed on the 

 upper side of the pinn^; they have a toothed margin 

 Ihe lateral nematophores are small; the mesial one is 

 well developed, but does not project much beyond the 

 calycle. 



This is the -Podded Coralline" of Ellis. This name 

 he seems to have given in consequence of his observa- 

 tions on the - corbul^,- which he likened to seed-pods 

 ihe calycles he likened to the flowers of the '•' lilv of 

 the valley." "^
