404 ; POLYPI, 
FLABELLARIA, Lam. 
Where there are no distinct articulations; they consist of large 
foliaceous expansions formed like the joints of the Halymedes and 
the stem of the Penicillz, of corneous threads enveloped with a cal- 
careous crust(1). : 
Gaxaxaura, Lamour, 
Where the stems are dichotomous, but their branches hollow(2). 
Liacora, Lamour, 
Where the stems are hollow and dichotomous, but are without 
articulations(3). 
It is perhaps directly after the Coralline that should come the 
ANADIOMENE, Lamour, 
Vulgarly termed Corsican Moss, and which is so useful as a ver- 
mifuge. 
It is composed of articulations, regularly ramous, and consists of 
a somewhat corneous substance invested with a gelatinous cover- 
ing(4). . 
Of all these productions without apparent Polypi, which are con- 
(1) Corallina conglutinata, Sol. and Ell., XXV,7;—C. flabellum, Ib., XXIV, C; 
and C. pavonia, Esper, Corall., VIII, 1X—the first division of the Flabellarie of 
Lamarck. Lamourowx has changed this name to Uporea. 
(2) Corallina obtusata, Sol. and Ell., XXII, 2;—C. lapidescens, Id., Ib., 9;—Tu- 
bularia fragilis, L.; Sloane, Jam., XXX, 10;—T'ubul. umbellata, Esper, Tubul., 
XVIi;—Corallina marginata, Sol. and Ell., XXII, 6;—Coral?. fruticulosa, tb., 5;— 
Galaxaure roide, Zool. de Freycin, pl. 91, f. 10, 11. 
(3) Corallina marginata, Sol. and Ell., XXII, 6;—C. fruticulosa, Id., Ib., 5. 
(4) Anadiomene flabellata, Lamour., Poll. Flex., XIV, f, 3, and Sol. and Ell, 
App., pl. 69, f. 15, 16. : 
N.B. The Galaxaure and Liagore form the genus Dicnoromaxra of Lamarck, 
but are not as that naturalist thought vaginiform Coralliferi, for there are no Po- 
lypi in the tube.
