CORDYLECLADIA 129 
Cordylecladia Anderson Grun. (Habitus Gracilariae con- 
fervoidis, cystocarpia Cordylecladiae’’) was based on Californian 
specimens collected by Anderson and on specimens from Peru. 
In the place of original publication (loc. cit.) a plant from Paita,* 
the type locality of Gigartina lemanaeformis, is mentioned. The 
Californian plant collected by Anderson may, we think, be fairly 
considered the type of C. Andersonii and we believe it to be spe- 
cifically different from the Peruvian plant, having larger, more 
scattered, more flattened-globose cystocarps, a habit much less 
like that of Gracilaria confervoides, and other differentiating 
characters. The “сувіосагрів magnis" of Grunow’s description 
we believe to have been drawn chiefly from the Californian speci- 
mens, though the ‘‘obconicis’’ of the “late obconicis" is hardly 
applicable to any of the cystocarps that we have seen, Californian 
or Peruvian, and we have had access to the Californian Cordyle- 
cladias of the Anderson herbarium, now in the possession of the 
New York Botanical Garden. 
Coker’s no. 108, from Chimbote, is sterile and its identification 
with Cordylecladia is open to some doubt, but certain peculiarities 
in structure and in branching lead us to the opinion that it belongs 
here.

CHRYSYMENIA J. Ag. Alg. Med. et Adriat. 105. 1842 
Chrysymenia (?) lobata sp. nov. 
Plane, thin-membranous, gelatinous, suborbicular or oblong 
in general outline, 14—24 cm. (more or less) broad, subpalmately 
lobed, the lobes oblong-lanceolate or plane-digitiform, broadest 
at base and tapering gradually to apex, obtuse, mostly 3-10 cm. 
long and 1-4 cm. broad at base, the larger again lobed in a similar 
way, the margins otherwise subentire or here and there obtusely 
dentate or minutely lobulate, the surface plane and smooth; 
thallus mostly 65-110 и thick; medulla somewhat vacuous, 
* A fragment of this (leg. A. Marcacci, July 1883), from the Piccone herbarium, 
we owe to the courtesy of Dr. Achille Forti of Verona. Its cystocarps are larger and 
less crowded than in the plant of d'Urville and Bory, sometimes apparently exceeding 
1 mm. in diameter, but the larger sometimes owe their apparent size to confluence
