In sterile plants, globular white masses are freely deposited in the cellular tissue towards the circumference of the frond, and are easily broken down into minute spherical grains. They are very Obvious when a thin transverse slice is placed in the microscope. The grains resemble those with which the cellules of the barren frond of Rhodomela subfusca are sometimes filled. M. Bory de St Vincent has described another species, brought from the coast 6f Chili, under the name of P. Durvillcei. The same has also been collected, according to him, in Ota'iti. He does not, however, mention whether the specimens are in fructification; and his specific character, "Poly...
