[" Few of the lower orders of plants equal these in beauty as microscopic 

 objects, whether viewed in their entirety with the binocular, or in their 

 structural details with high powers. Some genera, as Diachea and 

 Lamproderina, display a brilliant metallic or iridescent lustre of the 

 sporangia walls. Others, of the Physaracese, are characterized either by 

 snowy crystals or highly coloured granules, orange, scarlet, lilac, or purple, 

 of calcium carbonate. Still others, of the Trichiacese and Arcyriacese, 

 by their beautiful spore and thread-markings and sculpturing, are worthy 

 objects for the use of the higher lenses of the Microscope."]
