Not illustrated. 1860 Excerpt: ...coasts of Australia. Tasmania. Descr. Root a small conical disc. Fronds solitary or tufted, 1-2 feet long, 1J--3 lines in diameter, cylindrical, excessively branched, and bushy. Primary branches spreading to all sides, inserted without order, closely placed, patent or erecto-patent, a foot or more in length, alternately once, twice, or several times decompound. All the divisions taper to the base, sometimes at their insertion being only of setaceous thickness; all are acute, but rarely acuminate at the extremity. The ultimate ramuli are 1-2 inches long, generally very erect, with narrow axils. Cystocarps are plentifully scattered over the branches and ramuli, in the substance of which they are fully immersed, but rather prominent towards one side, and in the dried specimen project from the edges of the branch, like small conical pustules. The spores are often two or three iu a string on the spore-thread, and are more oval than in S. chordalis. The colour is a full deep-red, becoming rather darker in drying, and, if not steeped in fresh-water for some time, the specimens will stain the paper brown on which they are displayed. The substance is fleshy and succulent, soft and flexible, and in drying the frond adheres closely to paper. This genus agrees with Bhabdonia both in habit and in the structure of the frond, and differs merely in the structure of the cystocarp; but so essentially as to compel us to refer these genera to different families. The present species is much larger and more robust than 8. chordalis, but in other respects very similar to it. The ramuli, however, are much less taper-pointed, and the spores are of a somewhat different form. It abounds at Fremantle, after severe winter gales, and seems to come up from deep water. Fig 1.
