This species occurs sometimes in highly situated rock-pools 
on exposed coasts and sometimes in sheltered localities. 
Fruiting specimens were found in the summer months. 
It is presumably fairly common around the Faeroes, and has been 
found in the following localities: — Bor do: Klaksvig (H. S.!); Str.: Kolle- 
fjord (H. S.), Thorshavn (!). 
Cl. fracta (Vahl) Kiitz. Rostrup (1. c. p. 87) records this as 
a common Fseroese species, but, nevertheless, it is doubtful if it 
can be included in the list of the Faeroese Flora. There are two 
specimens in Rostrup’s Herbarium which are referred to this spe¬ 
cies, one of them is from Thorshavn (gathered Sept. 1867), and 
determined by Areschoug as »Conf. fracta , proxima«, hence this 
determination is uncertain. The other is from Bordo (gathered 
Aug. 1867), and grew on Halosaccion ramentaceum; on the paper 
capsule containing this specimen is written in J. Agardh’s hand¬ 
writing: — »prope C. fractam?«, but a closer examination proved 
this example to consist mainly of Rhizoclonium riparium in which 
was intermixed some filaments of an Acrosiphonia. 
In Lyngbye’s Herbarium there are no specimens of the Con¬ 
ferva fracta y elongata recorded by him in Hydrophyt. (p. 152), but 
the Museum in Copenhagen contains a specimen on which is writ¬ 
ten in Liebmann’s handwriting: — »in saxis maritimis ad Thors¬ 
havn«, this specimen must, however, undoubtedly have been gathered 
by Lyngbye. When examined it proved to be a small, stunted 
Cladophora closely overgrown with a Rhizoclonium riparium var. 
implexa.

Grows in the shells of Solen, Buccinum undatum, Cgprina, I 
Cardium, Modiola, etc. often associated with Ostreobium and Hyella. 
It was found growing in the sublittoral zone, down to a depth of 
at least 15 fathoms. Sporangiferous specimens were met with in July. 
This species occurred in many localities, and is doubtless common 
along the coasts of the Faeroes.
