The specimen is but a relatively small fragment of the individual plant,
which is often over a metre in length ; the form is pyramidal, the general
habit being that of a fir tree, to which it was likened in the original descrip-
tion. The following words used by Montagne in this description are certainly
well deserved : ? Alga maxime spectabilis et inter omnes species ‹urjns generis
facile pulcherrima.?
