botanical >>śA BDt Herbarium of the new York Botanical garden bot/. Annotated NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN BOTANICAL NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN BOTANICAL Griffithsia chilensis Mont.; Kutz. Sp. Alg. 660. 1849; Tab. Phyc. 12: 7. 2/./. d-/. 1862 In the surf, Lobos de Tierra, April 2, 1907, Colter 151 p.p. The specimen is apparently sterile, as was also the type of Griffithsia chilensis. The plants are shorter, more cespitose, and less straggling than the originals of Montagne and of Kutzingi, The filaments are mostly 250-350 m in diameter, but are often 500 n or more under the dichotomies; the apices are 160-250/t in diameter. Under no. 149 p.p., same locality and date, is a mere fragment, probably of the same species, but commonty more swollen at the septa, at or near which the plant is often rhiziniferous. These rhizoids are sometimes enlarged and hap>- terous at apex and the filaments are thereby more or less coherent. The filaments of this no. 149 attain a diameter of 600-700 n at the septa and occasionally 1 mm. under the di- or tri-chotomies. Griffithsia chilensis has been attributed by Montagne (Syfl. Crypt. 447. 1856) to Peru as well as to Chile. Whether it is the same as the plant from Cobija (then in Peru, now in Chile) that he had previously (FI. Boliv. 7. 1839) referred to 'G. setacea, we do not know. Kiitzing, at the place of original publication of G. chilensis, gave it a position immediately following G. setacea.
