78 THE BOTANICAL MAGAZINE. [V0i.xxxn.x0.3-G. 



After comparing the specimens of L. Lallewandi and L. 

 trichoclados in the Agardhian Herbarium I have noticed it 

 almost safe to state that the former has the terminal parts of 

 the indefinite branches "ocellated" while the latter not. Our 

 specimen agrees in this point and in other characters with 

 the former. 



The distinction between L. Lallewandi and L. Harveyi is not 

 very clear to me. Kutzing seems to have separated the latter 

 from the former essentially on account of their widely aparted 

 localities.^ I have not seen Kutzixg's original. The discovery 

 of the present species on our coast will weaken the ground of 

 separating them.

The specimen received for determination agrees in many 

 respects with the mentioned species that I can not regard it 

 specifically distinct from it. It is membranaceous in texture and 

 some of the basal pinnae are complanated and broadened with 

 congenial pinnules. The upright shoots have the lower pinnae 

 decompoundly ramified so that the general outline of a shoot 

 often assumes a broad rhombic shape. Falkenberg remarks, 

 I.e., on the two different forms of the plant on the European 

 coasts. As I have only a single, small specimen at my disposal 

 I am not able to ascertain to which of the two forms ours has 

 more likeness, and whether there are also such variations with 

 ours.
