the Scottish Cryptogamic Flora and in British Algce, is only
the young state of U. crispa; but this is not confirmed by
observation, for it never exceeds a line in length. The specimens
figured were communicated by Mr. Borrer. It is
said to be a common plant; but it is certainly local, as
there are many parts of England in which it does not occur.
