Hab. In deeper water than the last, but sometimes mixed 
With it in deep pools. 
This coralline very much resembles the last, of which it 
Appears to be only a variety. It grows to a greater length, 
more slender, and more branched and the branches more 
filiform than the C. officinalis, and is prostrate instead of 
fieing semi-erect.

This delicate species is most commonly of a delicate pea- 
hen colour. It resembles the C. officinalis in general 
a Ppearance, but is undoubtedly distinct from it. The inter- 
l) °des are wider in proportion to their length and more 
impressed than in that species. The branches are erecto- 
PjHent, joints linear, pointed and compressed at the edges. 
Uie compression of the edges is a character which is always 
Present.
