58 Mr, WooDwARo'i Obfervations upon the generic CharaBer ofUlva. 



From the very extended length of this plant, it is fcarcely 

 poffible to give a plate which {hall be a fufficiently accurate repre- 

 fentation of it; but from its totally diffimilar appearance to every 

 other known fpecies of Ulvoy and from its fimilarity in habit to 

 Fucus loreus, although it is more branched towards the bafe, and 

 much more fimple upwards than that Fucus^ it is hoped that 

 the foregoing ample defcription and hiftory of the plant will be 

 abundantly fufficient to diftinguifh it, when it fliall again be 

 brought under obfervation..
