Plate 4, figure 39

Colonies spherical to slightly irregular in outline, some speci-
mens being cubical with rounded corners, free, 20-35 m diam.;
cells spherical to decidedly angular after division, or remaining
angular to maturity, 3-3.5 n diam., pale aeruginous, closely ag-
gregated; resting spores angular, fitting close together in the
colony, with a thin, firm, membranaceous, smooth, brown wall,
5.8 m diam.; tegument firm on the margin, more or less lamellose,
yellowish to dark brown.

Growing among other Myxophyceae on a wall at Coamo
Springs, no. 299 a, type.

The above is a small species distinguished by its relatively
large, brown, smooth-walled resting spores combined with its
tough, close-fitting, lamellose, colonial tegument.
