The shoots of this species appear like rows of the minutest beads, so small is the whole plant, and the stem is all but imperceptible, even with a tolerable lens. The position of the lobe on the lower part of the leaf resembles that of a Radula.

Of this widely diffused and highly variable plant we have noticed what appear to be the most striking varieties; all of them are destitute of any trace of fructification, and some may be improperly included under this species, or even genus ; there are, however, no grounds for removing them from Aneura, and being anxious to draw attention in this work to all that is known of the Flora of the South, we prefer arranging such dubious plants with their nearest apparent allies, to passing them by unrecorded.
