J\Ir, Jenner has done me the honour to assign my name to 

 the above species, which is one of the finest and most distinct 

 of the Zygnemata. I encountered it several times during the 

 spring and summer of 1842, but not liaving then met with 

 it in a state of reproduction, I regarded the filaments as those 

 of Z. Grevilleanum, which, however, are usually furnished 

 but with a single spire, and in which the form of the conju- 

 gated cells is so different. 



b. Spire single.

Char. Filaments of rather less diameter than those of Zyg- 

 nema Hassallii. Cells usually seven or eight times as long 

 as broad. Sporangia oval, large, and much elongated, 

 contained within quadrangular enlargements of the cells. 

 Tubes of communication prominent.

This is one of the most distinct as well as curious of the 

 non-conjugating Zygnemata. It is by no means unconnnon.
