Fresh Pond
719 Enteromphalus Hoffkirkii
Some of the branches consist
of a single row of cells throughout,
some of two rows for a few hairs.
720 Ectocarpus terminalis, Kütz.,
on Ruffia (Enteromorpha)
about 1 µ ± high.
All about 1/2 µ or a little more in diameter—
2-14 times as long. Branching alternate
or opposite. When opposite the main
filament after terminating into a very fine
hyaline hair from the point of branching.
Such a hair also frequently
taking the place of a branch
or forming the termination of an ordinary
filaments or branch 18-25 wide x 60-100 µ. long.
Plurilocular sporangia terminal or lateral—the latter generally with
a short stipe of 1-3 cells.
Filaments much crowded at base where
they (and also hairs) spring from an almost
brenchymatous mass.
