meor panicle, on forked pedicels; each receptacle 2-4 lines long, scarcelythicker than bristle, smooth, constricted, and somewhat moniliform, con-taining a single row of scaphidia. The colour of stem and leaves is abright brownish-olive; that of the vesicles yellow. The substance is coria-ceous. This handsome plant is abundant in Tasmania, and is par-ticularly striking whilst growing, by the profusion of bright-yellow, globose air-vessels, scattered like golden apples over thebranches. The multifid leaves are unlike those of other Aus-tralian species, except S. varians, which differs in the broader,nerved, more pinnatifid and not fastigiate leaves, and in generalaspect. Fertile specimens of S. Raoulii are either very rare or con-lined to deep water. Where it grows at Georgetown it isquite barren. Fig.l. Sargassum Raoulii, small portion of a branch, with ramuli, leaves,and vesicles. 2. Base of stem and branches :—both of the natural size,3. Eeceptacles and part of a leaf,—enlarged.
