Chroococcus heanogloios sp. nov.

Plate 2, figure 20

Cells homogeneous, olive-green, aggregated into small groups
on the filaments of the host, associated into colonies of 2-4,
spherical when existing singly, 8—10 ¡j diam., compressed and
angular in colonies of 2 or 4; colonies of 4 with tegument 18-20 n
diam.; tegument hyaline, homogeneous, thin and apparently
membranaceous but glutinous.

Growing more or less epiphytic on Scytonema capitatum on
rocks about ten kilometers north of Utuado, no. 1537 c, type.

The unusual epiphytic habit, and the very thin, somewhat
gelatinous tegument are characters distinguishing this species of
Chroococcus.
