and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
2278. Stigonema. So named in allusion to the regular annular dots of the filaments ; from riy'-'v, dotted, and 
vvifM,, a thread. This genus is similar in habit to the Lichens. The color is opaque and brown ; the filaments 
are branched with spines, and marked internally with distinct dots. 
2279. Protonema. It is uncertain whether this genus is not rather the young state of germinating mosses ; 
it is named in allusion to the simplicity of its structure, from sr^ora?, first, or primary, and v/j^a, a thread. 
2280. Hygrocrocis. From uy^o?, any thing belonging to water, and x^oxi?, a little tuft. These plants are 
found in chemical solutions of vegetable matter, as in ink, &c. 
2281. Lcptomitus. Substances floating in the water, and produced by animal matter in a state of decay. 
They^onsist of exceedingly fine intertangled fiaments, whence the name, Xixro;, slender, and jt/.;Taf, a
