 cates long, anticlinal rows of cells surrounding the tetraspores.

De Toni lists this species under Agardh's Sec. Palmettae, whereas the 

 description clearly indicates the arrangement of the tetraspores in a 

 nemathecial, cortical layer. On the basis of the description of this feature 

 it is best to refer R. capensis to Sec. Clinophora. 



Distribution. — Cape of Good Hope, South Africa.

 Agardh's Sec. Clinophora, to which it was referred by De Toni.
