Scytonema jAVANicuM distortum var. nov.

Filaments 13.8-15 m diam., 200-300 u long, branching fre-
quent, mostly by bowing out of the trichome and later breaking
apart, much contorted; heterocysts numerous,,much compressed.

Growing on trees north of Mayagiiez, no. 1000, type.

The variety is to be distinguished from the species by tin
method of branching, the trichomes pushing out in the form of a
loop, and breaking in twTo later. The frequent branching of the
short filaments causes them to become much distorted.
