*0008 inch long, uniseptate, constricted strongly at tlie septum 

 and in the centre of each of the binucleate articulations.

The Lucknam plant is just that of Dcsm. 1756. The sporidia, 

 however, when fully developed, are uniseptate and strongly con- 

 stricted in the centre. Montague's name is preoccupied by 

 Schweinitz.
