13. SPHACELARIA, Zyngb. 
1. SPHACELARIA obovata, Hook. fil. et Harv.; parvula, gracilis, pallide viridis, stupa nulla, fronde 
circumscriptione obovata, caule gracili articulato basi longe nudo supra medium ramis plurimis tenuibus 
elongatis erecto-patentibus laxe distiche pinnatis ornato apicibus sphacelatis. Nobis in Lond. Journ. of Bot. 
vol. iv. p. 251. 
Haz. St. Martin's Cove, Hermite Island, Cape Horn, in about eight fathom water; very scarce. 
Ceespitosa, superne fastigiatim ramosa.  Frondes 1-14 une. long&, caule ramisque gracilibus, per totam longi- 
tudinem articulatis. 
We have seen no specimens of this, but what were dredged up from a considerable depth ; and, if fully grown, 
the outline of the frond alone is sufficient to distinguish it from its congeners. 
2. SPHACELARIA funicularis, Mont. Fl. Antarct. Pt. 1. p. 180. 
Has. Cape Tres Montes, South Chili; C. Darwin, Esq. 
The representative of the European S. scoparia. We have a note, unaccompanied, however, by any specimen, 
purporting that this species was also found in the Falkland Islands. 
14. CLADOSTEPHUS, Aj. 
1. CLADOSTEPHUS spongiosus, Agardh, Sp. Alg. vol. ii. p. 15. Engl. Bot. t. 2427. f. 1. 
Haz. Hermite Island, Cape Horn, and the Falkland Islands; abundant. 
This plant varies considerably at several periods of the year, becoming bare of ramuli in the winter. It is 
abundant in the German Ocean and on the Atlantic shores of Europe, and extra tropical North America, in the 
Mediterranean Sea and Canary Islands, but has not been hitherto found within the Tropics. We regard these 
specimens as specifically identical with others of British growth. 
15. ECTOCARPUS, ۰ 
1. Ecrocarpus tomentosus, Lyngb. Grev. Crypt. Flor. t. 316. 
Haz. St. Martin's Cove, Hermite Island, Cape Horn; rare. 
The European shores of the Atlantic Ocean and the German Sea are the only previously recorded habitats for 
this species. 
2. Ecrocareus siliculosus, Lyngb. Engl. Bot. t. 2319. 
Has. Hermite Island, Cape Horn, and Berkeley Sound, Falkland Islands ; abundant. 
Apparently a much more widely distributed species than the former, ranging from the Baltic Sea and German 
Ocean to the Mediterranean and Canary Islands, also along the shores of the United States. In the Southern 
hemisphere it has been found at the Cape of Good Hope and New Zealand. 
3. Ecrocarrus geminatus, Hook. fil. et Harv.; ceespite basi intricato ramoso olivaceo v. virescente, 
filis majusculis tenuibus ramosissimis apice liberis plumosis, ramis ramulisque patentibus oppositis quaternisve 
ultimis brevibus, utriculis sessilibus oppositis conicis basi seepe ramulo brevi bracteseformi suffultis, Nobis 
in Lond. Journ. Bot. vol. 1۲۰ p. 251.
