Phycotheca Boreali-Americana. Collins, Holden, and Setchell. 426. Gigartina papillata cas.) j. as. forma cristata. On rocks, forming a distinct zone in the upper third of the litoral region; Pyramid Point, Monterey County, California, May 18, 1897. W. A. SETCHELL. The name cristata is applied to the form found in a zone just a lit- tle below high water mark, whose fronds are fairly deeply divided into a few very broadly cuneate divisions. These in turn are variously cu- neately lobed, and have cuneate proliferations from the margins. The appearance of the fresh plant thoroughly justifies the name. This certainly comes near to Harvey’s G. mamillosa var. latissima (Proc. Linn. Soc., Vol. VII, p. 172, 1862) ; who says in description—“Parce dichotoma, laciniis latissime cuneatis, truncatisbut as no authentic specimens are accessible it seems best to arrange it under a provisional name. 02339566
