This genus must be placed in the Lynghyece on account of the 

 structure of the sheath, which contains a solitary trichome. The com- 

 parative width of the sheath, its hyaline character with irregular 

 margin, along with the peculiar habit of the plant, characterise the 

 genus. The younger plants (consisting of short filaments of 12-20 

 cells) are endophytic, occurring between the lamellae of the sheath of 

 PorpJiyrosipJion. As they increase in size they appear to break through 

 the outer lamellse of the sheath of the host, and to attach themselves 

 closely to its outer surface by means of their own mucous envelope, 

 which is now considerably broader.
