Pericentral cells 5, corticate, cortex smooth,even, of
small elongate cells; with few elongate branches, bearing
patent, acute ramuli, the younger with a dense fascicle of
ramelli at the tip, the older naked; ramelli very dense,
deciduous, rnonosiphonous, dichotomous»straight, not divari-
cate; cells 2-3 diam. long,above only 1 diam.; diameter the
same throughout; stichidia conical or cylindric-conical,
arising near the base of a fascicle of ramuli; tetrasporangia
2-4 in a whorl. Substance of the frond firm; color dark red;
Type in Collins herbarium,I?o.7243; collected at shelly Bay,
May 4, 1912. Oollins.

When ramelli are abundant, this plant somewhat resembles
D.punicea, but the ramelli show no tendency to a verticillate
arrangement, and fall off more easily. The surface of the
frond after the ramelli have fallen is smooth and even, not .
knotted and irregular as in D. punicea;the cells are small
and regular, not large and irregular as in that species.
