Has. Belvidere Lake, Co, Westmeath, Ireland. Mr. D. More. 
I had the pleasure of announcing this discovery of a new 
Chara to the British Flora, in the Ist. vol. of the London 
Journal of Botany. At that time Mr. More had not detected 
the fruit; but since, he has been more fortunate, and has thus 
enabled me to represent perfect specimens of a species never 
before figured. It is at once distinguished by its broad and 
sedum-like leaves. I find no bractea at the base of the (so- 
called) anthers ; but on the opposite side of the branch, where 
the anther is produced, are two or three small raised points. 
Three similar points are opposite the three bracteas of the fruit.
