The typical form is most commonly met with along the Faeroese 
coasts; but sometimes the specimens more or less approach to the 
subspecies interrupta (Grev.) Rosenv., without, however, being quite 
identical with it. 
This is a sublittoral species and prefers growing on stony 
bottoms where it occurs dispersed, but rarely in large quantities. 
It is met with both in exposed and sheltered localities, but most 
commonly in the latter. The Faeroese specimens which I have 
seen were sterile, but often infested by Actinococcus subrutaneus. 
Specimens bearing young shoots occurred in November and December. 
Found in the following localities: — Vi der 6: (H. J.); Bor do: Klaks- 
vig (!); Ost.: Fuglefjord(!); Str.: Vestmanhavn (!), Gliversnaes(!), Kvivig(!); 
Syd.: Tvaeraa (Ostenfeld), Lobra (!), Vaagfjord (H. J.). 
Ph. rubens (Good. & Wood.) J. Ag. Simmons (1. c.-p. 266) 
reports having found this species near Klaksvig, but as I had several 
times had an opportunity of dredging this locality and had only 
succeeded in finding Phyllophora Brodicei I naturally had serious 
doubts as to the correctness of Simmons find, and his original 
specimens kindly lent to me from the collections belonging to the 
University of Lund also proved to be small specimens of Phyllo¬ 
phora Brodicei. Phyllophora rubens must consequently be omitted 
from the list of the marine algae of the Faeroes, as it has not hi¬ 
therto been found there.

This species must presumably be very rare in the Faeroes as 
only a single, small specimen occurred in the gatherings. It has 
narrow leaves and resembles most closely a Baltic-specimen (cfr. 
Darbishire, 1. c. p. 5). 
Syd.: Tvaeraa, gathered by Ostenfeld in a plaice net. 
Simmons (1. c. p. 266) mentions having found this species near 
Klaksvig; but his original specimens which Dr. Nordstedt kindly lent 
me from the collections belonging to the University of Lund proved to 
be very small specimens of Rhodymenia palmata.
