Gregarious or scattered, 2 -2 -5 mm. high; the nodes of the
network of the sporangial wall are numerous, large and very
irregular, usually irregularly stellate, the rays tapering gradually
and without much smooth internode, again expanding as
a ray of an adjoining node. Spores sometimes minutely
verruculose under a high power.

Gregarious. 1-5—2 mm. high, resembling superficially G.

almost circular in outline, and without the prominent angles
from which the delicate strands spring in the last-named
species.

Sporangia globose, erect, stipitate, ochrcweous brown, calyculus
occupying half the sporangium, margin dentate, nodes of network
numerous, containing granules, coloured, irregularly angular,
with several large, pointed, marginal projections, connected by
very delicate strands, often arranged in more or less parallel
series; stem erect, attenuated upwards, brown, with usually a
purple tin g e ; spores pale, globose, wall thick, smooth, 5—7 g
diameter.

Gregarious or crowded, 2-5—3 mm. high; distinguished
amongst species with a large, hemispherical calyculus, by the
large, angular, irregularly stellate nodes of the network being
connected by slender bands, which are often arranged iu
parallel pairs.
