Uab. On stones, shells, and corallines ; common. 
species varies so much in its general appearance, that 
ec imcns are frequently totally unlike each other. Some- 
- ’ es it stands erect to the height of four inches and is very 
si ' n ch branched ; at others it creeps aloug the surface of a 
p, 0,1,5 or shell and nothing but the cells are visible; and 
,i' r l n ently it creeps up the stems of the Sertularise, the cells 
. ''’iding in relief irregularly round them. When erect and 
4f a Ocbed, it is somewhat bushy, and the trunk and branches 
t ® square. The cells, which are nearly sessile, stand in 
j> ,et from all parts of the polypidom, as small linear tubes. 
whatever shape it may assume, it is at all times readily 
. ■ ung'jijhed by its cells ; they are of a deep brown colour, 
S) ^ ply tubular and tapering towards the base ; they are much 
ev ater than any other of the genus, and the apertures are 
and unarmed, and the rim patulous and everted, like 
e a Perlure of a bugle.
