Cladophoropsis memhranacea (Forssk.) B0rg. 
MARIANAS ISLANDS. Guam I., Radin, viii 45,

Spongocladia Areschoug, 1853 
Spongocladia vaucheriaeformis Aresch. 
Philippines. Sulu Pr., Tawitawi Group, 
Tawitawi L, Abbott, 13 ii 57 (bish). malaya. 
Singapore, ii 83 {ex herb. Hauck, mich ) . Indo- 
nesia. Java: Thousand Islands, Amsterdam I., 
Kostermans 409, 11 x 38 (mich) , Hoorn I., 
Setchell JH581, 1 v 29, Kelapa I., Kostermans 
277, 5 x 38 (mich). These are large plants, 
exceeding 15 cm in height, freely if irregularly 
branched, the dried divisions 5-8 mm diam. 
The habit is similar to some of the bushy codi- 
ums, or sometimes the terminal divisions are 
rather crowded and erect. Comparison was made 
with Mauritius specimens from Areschoug’s 
herbarium in the Rijksmuseum, Stockholm. 
Spongocladia dichotoma Zanard. 
Philippines. Luzon I., Pangasinan Pr., Alo- 
minos, Fenix, x 28 ( ? in part) (uc) . NEW 
guinea: Tami, 75, 1894 (ny) . Some plants in 
the Fenix collection were very loosely and ir- 
regularly branched, and suggest S. dichotoma; 
others had the habit of S. vaucheriformis, but 
these may not be different species after all. 
Comparison was made with Sorong, New 
Guinea material leg. Beccari in the British 
Museum N.H. herbarium, for which Zanardini 
originally intended the name Spongodendron 
dichotomnm. In the Tami material the filament 
diameter ranged from 55 to 330p, in that from 
Sorong 80-200p. 
Spongocladia neocaledonica Grunow
