This alga forms a low pulvinate mass to 2 cm. high. The thallus
is irregularly, dichotomously branched in all direction, forming a
hemispherical frond. The apex of the branches is generally obtuse.
A section of the thallus shows that it is consisted of a peripheral layer
of moniliform dichotomous filaments and a medulla of longitudinally
running filments. The carpogonial branch consists of three or four
cells, arising as a special secondary branch on the peripheral filaments.
The thallus is very slimy and gelatinous, turning to cartilaginous
when dried.
HAB. Abundant on rocks and shells in the litoral belt. Hong
Kong: Stanley Beach, in March-April (Tseng 280, 588, 67.9) and
