The appearance o f this Coralline is very flat, white,
flender, and fmall, and looks as if it was very clofely pen-
nated, or with fine white fibres coming out on each fide,
like a branched feather. It is themoft delicate of all the
tribe, and was lately brought from the Weft Indies.

This differs from all the other trichotomous Corallines,
in having proliferous ovaries, or branches growing out of
them, bearing other ovaries. It is of a fea-green color
and flender texture.
It was found on the coaft of Africa, in the Mediterranean
Sea.

This Coralline grows on fucus’s, and is found in plenty
in Cornwall. The younger joints, as they fubdivide, are
roundifh. There is a variety of, this kind from the Weft
Indies with much larger joints, that all appear horned,
the branches as well as thofe of the ftems.
I have lately examined fome fpecimens of this Coralline
from Cornwall, and have found that they bear the
fame kind o f ovaries at the angles of their upper divifions
in the fame manner with the two following fpecies ; fo
that it may be a variety of them, or perhaps one of them
in another ftate of growth.
