From byssus, a kind of fungus, and κλaδoς, a branch; the filamentous branches of this plant being very similar to those of Byssus. These plants grow in places occasionally overflowed with water. . 2274. Mycinema. From μuκης, a kind of minute fungus, and vημa, a thread ; in allusion to the resemblance of the filaments to those of some Fungi. 2275. Chroolepus. So called on account of the change which is undergone by the exterior membrane, which changes to powder; from χωooς, skin, and λέπω, to decorticate. 2276. Trentepohlia. So named, in honor of an obscure German botanist. This is an ill-defined genus, which is much in need of reformation. 2277. Scytonema. From σκuτoς, leather, and vημa, a filament; in allusion to the coriaceous nature of the filamentous frond. The species grow chiefly on stones in inundated places, and are rarely found in salt water.

Stigonema. So named in allusion to the regular annular dots of the filaments ; from σiγωv, dotted, and vημa, a thread. This genus is similar in habit to the Lichens. The color is opaque and brown; the filaments are branched with spines, and marked internally with distinct dots. 2279. Protonema. It is uncertain whether this genus is not rather the young state of germinating mosses; it is named in allusion to the simplicity of its structure, from πρoτoς, first, or primary, and vημa, a thread. 2280. Hygrocrocis. From ὑγρoς, any thing belonging to water, and zeozis, a little tuft. These plants are found in chemical solutions of vegetable matter, as in ink, &c. 2281. Leptomitus. Substances floating in the water, and produced by animal matter in a state of decay. They consist of exceedingly fine intertangled fiaments, whence the name, λεκτoς, slender, and μiτoς, a thread.

From μεσoς, the middle, and γλoioς, viscid : the spines of little branches radiating from a common centre, and forming what appears to be a solid mass. These plants were formerly referred to Chætophora, from which they differ in the want of any fixed gelatine. 2283. Batrachospermum. From βaτρaχoς, a frog, and σπερμη. So called in allusion to the places in which the species grow; they are mostly found in marshes, less frequently in the sea. 2284. Draparnaldia. James Philip Ralph Draparnaud, was a French botanist, who wrote some memoirs on the subject of botany in the beginning of this century. He is also known for his acquaintance with freshwater Confervæ. 2285. Oscillatoria. The singular motion of these curious plants has suggested their generic name. The oscillation of the filaments seems almost of an animal nature, although it frequently arises from mechanical ORD. VII. TRIBE III.

Agardh, however, declares that O. curviceps has naturally the motion of an animal, but of a creeping not oscillatory nature. 2286. Calothrix. From zaλoς, beautiful, and θρiξ, hair, in allusion to the beauty of the entangled filaments; the appear as if branched, by the singular juxta-position of small filaments. latter appear as if branched, by the singular juxta-position of small filaments. 2287. Lyngbya. H. C. Lyngbye, a Danish botanist, is the author of an excellent work on Algæ, which he calls Hydrophytologiæ Danicæ Tentamen, published at Copenhagen, in 1819, in one volume quarto. This genus differs from Oscillatoria in the absence of a mucous matrix, and from Calothrix in being curved and quite distinct. In habit it approaches Conferva. 2288. Bangia.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture, held to be efficacious in healing fractured limbs. Pliny declares, he was witness to a cure of this kind. Some of the species of this genus are believed to be merely the young of mosses. 2293. Bulbochate. From βoλβoς, a club, and χaiτη, a bristle, in reference to the bristly end of the primary - filaments. 2294. Nitella. From niteo, to shine. A genus separated by Agardh from Chara, because the stem is composed of a simple tube, and not of one spirally striated. The plants have the habit of Chara. 2295. Chara. The origin of this word is unknown. It first occurs in Cæsar's Commentaries, where it is mentioned as the name of a plant, the root of which was used by the Roman soldiers as food. That plant could have had no relation to the plant of the moderns. Various opinions have been held with regard to the station of this genus. Linnæus referred it to the perfect plants, and he has been followed by many botanists. Dr. Hooker and Mr. Lindley, in the former's Flora Scotica, formed it into a particular order, placed between Algæ and Hepaticæ; and with this opinion Dr. Greville coincides. But Professor Agardh thinks it cannot even be separated from true Algæ, in the midst of which he has placed it. The nature of the fructification is so paradoxical, that it is scarcely possible to trace an analogy between it and the fructification of any other plant.

Greville observes, "This is a most curious tribe of plants, whose structure, I am convinced, is by no means well the At present, I have only minutely examined the fruit of C. vulgaris. Under a high no means of understood. At present, I have only minutely examined the fruit of C. vulgaris. Under a high power of the microscope, the globule is found to consist of seven triangular scales, which in maturity separate from each other, and produce the dehiscence of the globule. Each of these scales has a vacant portion in its centre, but the margin, which has a fluted appearance under a small magnifier, consists of a number of parallel, linearoblong, hyaline, hollow tubes, placed at small intervals from each other, those forming the angles of the scale being branched. Within these tubes are a profusion of orange, globular, minute bodies (exactly similar to the sporules of many cryptogamic plants), arranged in no order, and escaping on the least injury to the tubes.

It is these little bodies which give the orange color to the globule. Within the globule is a mass of elastic white filaments, much convoluted, and distinctly either jointed or transversely rugose."

The calcareous matter of the stem and branches is not an adventitious incrustation, but is the result of some peculiar economy in the plant itself, as it evidently originates from within, and is covered with the cuticle. It is supposed to be analogous to the siliceous deposit beneath the cuticle of Equisetum. 2296. Ceramium. So called from κερaμoς, a little measure, in reference to the appearance of the capsules.
