Habitat. It has been found in very deep water off the arctic coast of Norway. 

 Here it is sterile during the latter part of the summer. On the coast of Bohuslan it 

 develops reproductive organs in great numbers in winter. In Baffin Bay it has been 

 taken, according to Dickie, in 12 — 15 fathoms water, attached to stones. 



Geogr. Distrib. This alga is known from the southern part of the Norwegian 

 Polar Sea and from Baffin Bay. Its most northern locality is Cape Adair on the east 

 coast of Baffin Land about Lat. N. 71°. 



Localities: The Norwegian Polar Sea: Nordlanden, scattered and rather scarce.
