(2454.) P. Scouleri, Hook., Fl. II., 171. 



Abundant on steep rocks below half tide, from the lighthouse, near 

 Victoria, around the coast to Esquiniault Harbor; very common in tlie 

 same situations on all the islands in the outer part of Barclay Sound, 

 on the west coast of Vancouver Island. (Macoun.) 



Although much like Z. marina in general appearance, its place of growth 

 differs so materially that the two Sfiecies need never be confounded, as 

 this always grows on steep rocks or on boulders, while the other 

 delights in pools with a bottom of shell mud. Fine fruiting specimens 

 were obtained in Julj' and August, 1887. It is very likely quite com- 

 mon on the Pacific coast, but usually confounded with Z. marina.
