English: Plate 66.
Fig. 1. Prionitis filiformis v. delicatula. A portion of a large tuft showing regular pinnate branching. I. Cerros. x 0.8. [= syn. of Prionitis delicatula (W.R.Taylor) E.Y.Dawson, AlgaeBase]
Figs. 2-6. Herpophyllon coalescens. Portions of several plants are shown. Fig. 2 shows a young peltate individual from below, the holdfast with attached whitish detritus turned toward the right. Fig. 3 shows another young, somewhat funnel-shaped peltate specimen from the side. Figs. 4-6 show groups of older individuals which have coalesced laterally. They are photographed from below, the holdfasts project upward, and are recognizable by the attached whitish coralline sand. Toward the upper right-hand corner of fig. 5, one member of the group shows clearly in side view, attached to the others by part of its margin. This photograph was made from dried specimens. The preserved material, having become entirely decolorized, did not have a natural appearance when photographed, although it served well for accurate study of the form and structure of this little-known species. I. Santa Maria, x 0.9. [= syn. of Drouetia coalescens (Farlow) G.De Toni, AlgaeBase]
