“Forming a thin yeJlow-brown, suborbicular, depressed stratum on 
chalk cliffs, about high-water mark. The individual plants, which are 
from 1-6 lines diam., are but very little thicker in the centre than at the 
margin. The surface is rugulose and shining, substance firm, between 
gelatinous and coriaceous. In age the plant gradually becomes more 
tawny, but at all times under the microscope presents a pale ochraceous 
jelly filled with darker granules. Under a moderate magnifier the 
granules appear globose, but under a lens with 1-25th in. focus pellucid, 
globose, colourless vesicles are seen to contain the darker granules, and 
these are found to be elliptic. Sometimes the vesicles contain a little 
tawny colouring matter, as though the sporules were broken down; and 
frequently the sporules burst through the coat of the vesicle in which 
they are contained, and lie free on the general mass.”— Berkeley.
