Phormidium durum sp. nor.

Plate 9, figure 88

Filaments aggregated into a loose, floccose stratum, long,
ftexuous, rigid ; trichomes 12-14p diam., neither constricted at
the dissepiments nor attenuated at the apices; cells quadrate to
2 times as long as the diameter, homogeneous to finely granular
when old, pale purplish-gray; cross-walls thin but very distinct;
apical cell rounded, not capitate; sheath hyaline, changing to
reddish brown, when old, homogeneous, smooth, rigid, 2-3 n
diam.

Growing in flocculent masses among moss on shaded rock
near the Hacienda Catalina, near Palmer, no. 746, type; on
weathered rock near Humacao, no. 649. This latter collection
seems to belong to the same species as no. 746 but is older and
the sheath thicker. '
