My specimens bear antheridia and cystocarps, and coincide 

 very well with the descriptions and figures referred to above. 

 The plant stands close by L. obscura which, however, may be 

 easily distinguished by its larger size in every part. 



A peculiarity of our specimens is that the chromoplasts in 

 the pericentral cells are finely transversely striated. The stria- 

 tions are not at regular intervals even in a cell. In L. obscura 

 I have not seen anything alike. 



De Tom puts an interrogation mark to the generic position 

 of the present species. But it posesses all the characters of the 

 genus and there remains nothing to be doubted. 



Locality. Hizen Pro v. (mis. Dr. T. Inui). 



Distribution. King George Sound, Australia.
