The species was abundant in old fragnnents of Stictyosi- 

 phon tortilis , which were found in company with Pylaiella

 Key to the species : 



I. Filaments 14 — ^80 ^i thick generally containing 2 — 3, rarely 

 1 or 4 pyrenoids in each cell U. flacca 



II. Filaments 7 — 23 /j. thick containing only one pyrenoid in 

 each cell. 

 A. Chromatophore thickened in one end. 



a. Without rhizoids. 



o. Basal cell tapering downwards. 



1 . Chromatophore generally almost fills the length 

 of the cell U. pseudo flacca f. typica

o. Basal cell discoidally widened at the base, no 



coalescent filaments U. scutata 



oo. Basal cell slightly narrowed at the base, coales-
