 branched chains of cells, 12-25x5-7 fi _ Most of the component cells 

 divided by a longitudinal septum, or also subglobose 5-7x5-7^, H-- 

 This is closely allied to Septonema toruloideum, C. and E., and to "Conio- 

 thecium " toruloideum, B. and C, but differs from both of these in its 

 longitudinally divided (muriform) cells, which are also slightly muri- 

 cate-roughened.
