Not a quarter of an inch high. It grows in tufts like a Lichen, black in the 
mass, but pale red when held against the light. Substance rigid, horny. 
It is branched from the root, the lower part of the branches garnished 
with a strap-shaped fringe. The spatula-shaped leaves appear at the 
end of these branches. Fructification not yet discovered. Fucuspygmceus 
grows upright: this is a creeping plant. Ner. Brit.

First discovered by Mr. Stackhouse, on the red sandstone rocks at Sid- 
mouth.

F. fhylli'tis. Membranaceous, without a mid-rib, simple, transparent, 
sword-shaped, border plaited and waved: stalk cylindrical, very 
short; (compressed. E. Bot.

About a foot long and an inch broad. Fructification , vesicles immersed as 
in F. saccharinus. Thought by Hudson and Lightfoot to have been a 
variation of that plant, but the leaf is never wrinkled in the middle part, 
and its texture is thin and membranaceous like an Ulva. It further 
differs from F. saccharinus in growing in clusters, though each plant has 
its proper root. F. saccharinus is dense and horny in its texture, even 
when young.

proliferous, variously cut into segments towards the top like an expanded 
hand, membranaceous, thin, pellucid, green or reddish, near a foot broad.

coriaceous specimens, according to Messrs. Goodenough and Woodward, 
the tubercles immersed in the frond, projecting from it, and opening at 
the point, may be observed. E.)
