We have fpoken fufEciently of this, fpecies under our article 

 bulbofus, particularly of the arrangement of thefe varieties. 



The fecond variety here defcribed is fuppofed by Mr. Lightfoot 

 to be the plant in its perfe£l or frudifying ftate. As little is 

 known of the frudtifiication of fea-plants, we rather for the conve- 

 nience of defcription place it laft. 



Reaumur obferves, that he had found upon this fpecies what he 

 calls flowers {fleurs compofces de filets courts) about ten or twelve on a 

 plant, but no feeds.
