7. G. Teedii, Lamour. (Teedes Gigartir.ci); frond subcartilaginous
linear acuminated flat repeatedly pinnated with verynarrow
horizontal branches, the ultimate ramuli setaceous
(bearing the sphserical capsules). Sphceroccccits Teedii, Ag.

In the sea, Lupton and Elberry Coves and Tor Abbey rocks,
Torbay, Mrs. Griffiths.—Two to 4—5 inches long, very much branched,
with the branches often opposite ; not unfrequently the ramuli are secund.
The beautiful and numerous specimens that I have received from
Mrs. Griffiths are so copiously pinnated, that their appearance is very
different from the figure of Roth and Turner. Much of the difference
indeed may be occasioned by the former not being in fructification, in
which state Mrs. Griffiths has never found it. That lady justly
remarks that " this species is not in its place among the R/wdomenice,
and that it comes much nearer to the Gracilarke of Dr. Greville, especially
G. acicularis" Indeed I possess some small specimens of G.
acicularis that can hardly be distinguished from a less ramified G.
Teedii.
