6. C. tetmis'sima (Desv.) ; monoecious, st. slender equal flex- 
ible transparent, hranchlets short in dense compact subglohose 
whorls repeatedly di^•ided into 3 — 7 segments, terminal segments 
mucronate longer than the others, globules and nucules each 
solitarv but together at the subdivisions of the branchlets with- 
out bracts.— JJ. /. 792. Atl. Fl. Par. 41 E.— Very small and 
slender. Branchlets very much divided, forming little globose 
compact tnasses which are often much incrusted. Nucules sub- 
globose, with (i — 8 striae, minute but 3 times the diameter of 
the branchlets and placed outside of them. Globides much 
larger than the nucules. — Peaty ditches. Cambridgeshire. A. 
Vn. VIII. E. 
ii. Tolypella. Globules lateral on the joinings of the chief 
ray of the branchlets between the lateral rays (bracts) which 
are always shorter than the chief ray. — Rays of many decreasing 
joints. 
7. C. Smith'ii (Bab.); dioecious, st. slender equal flexible 
transparent, branchlets hhmt those forming the primai-y whorls 
simple stei-ile long jointed (?), others on axillarj' branches many 
densely crowded having 3 short and 1 long bract at their first 
joining, globules stalked within the 3 shorter bracts, nucules 
unknown. — C. nidifica Sm. {not Miill.), E. B. 1703 (principal 
figure). — Small. Branchlets in bird's-nest-like masses, spring- 
ing from the axils of the simple branchlets of the primary whorl.

8. C. prolifera (A. Br.) ; moncecious, st. slender equal flexible 
transparent, branchlets blunt those forming the priynarg tchorb 
simple sterile long usually of 3 or 4 joints, others on axillary 
branches many densely crowded bearing 3 short and 1 long bract 
at their first joining, globules sessile in company with one or 
more nucvdes and within the 3 shorter bracts. — Small. Like 
the preceding. Nucules small, faintly striate. Granules ses- 
sile (i'). The presence of true bracts distinguishes this species, 
C. Borreri, and C. Smithii {lom C. pohjsperma and C.Jkxilis. — 
Ditches. Cley, Norfolk. Copford, Essex. A. IV. E. 
9. C. Bor'rcri (Bab.) ; monoecious, st. slender equal flexible 
transparent, branchlets strongly mucronate those of the primary 
whorls simple sterile long j ointed, others on axillary branches 
many densely crowded bearing 3 short and 1 long bract at their 
first and sometimes second joining, globules stalked or sessile in 
company with several nucides and within the 3 shorter bracts. 
— C. nidifca Borr., E. B. S. fol. 2762, note. See A. N. H. ser. 2. 
v. 87. — Like but larger than Nos. 7 and 8. Branchlets sud- 
denly contracted below the acute tip. Larger " bract" occasion- 
ally "bearing a cluster of bracts. — Marsh ditch, Henfield, Sussex.
