Scottish National Antarctic ( Scotia ) Expedition 1902-1904; 01.12.1903; microslide (Fig. 12D) comprising 4 sterile stem fragments, 6-8 mm high, one of them branched once [material studied by Ritchie (1907, as S. tenella ), and listed by Rees & Thursfield (1965, p. 138)]. Description: Stolonal hydrothecae or short, erect, unbranched or sparingly-branched stems arising from creeping, branching, filiform hydrorhiza. A varied number of annuli at the stem bases, immediately above origin from stolon. Stems and side branches, when present, exclusively monosiphonic, divided into moderately-long, geniculate internodes by means of oblique nodes slanting in alternate directions. A hydrotheca, or a hydrotheca and a lateral apophysis immediately below its basis, confined to the distal end of each internode; basally, a twist. Branches arise irregularly (every 1-7 stem hydrothecae) and in the same plane as the stem; up to 2nd order branching observed; structure similar to stem, though 1 st internode comparatively longer than subsequent ones. Hydrothecae biseriate, alternate, coplanar; flask-shaped, swollen basally, adnate for 2/5th their adaxial length; surface provided by 4-6 transverse ridges; rim with 4 small, triangular, equally-developed cusps separated by deep, rounded embayments; 3 distinctive, plate-shaped, internal projections of perisarc below the hydrothecal aperture (2 latero-adaxial, 1 abaxial); operculum composed of 4 triangular flaps forming a pyramidal roof. Gonothecae arising from below the hydrothecal bases; broadly ovoid, surface with 6-7 transverse ribs, aperture apical, surrounded by 4 pointed cusps; external acrocysts in female. Dimensions: See Table 22. Remarks: The typical shape of a stolonal colony is illustrated in Galea (2007, fig. 15E), and of an erect stem in Galea (2007, fig. 15F). The gonothecae are illustrated in Galea (2007, fig. 15G, I). Distribution: Chile – Región de los Ríos [north of Corral (present study)]; Región de los Lagos [around Isla Grande de Chiloé (Leloup, 1974; Galea et al ., 2009); Golfo de Ancud (Leloup, 1974); Roca Gloria (present study)]; Región de Aysén [Guaitecas Archipelago (Leloup, 1974; Galea, 2007); Canal Puyuhuapi (Galea et al ., 2009); Canal Messier (present study)]; Región de Magallanes y de la Antártica Chilena [Canals Castillo, Copihue, Pasaje, and Pitt Chico, as well as Angostura Inglesa and Isla Camello (Galea, 2007); around Punta Arenas (present study); Magellan Strait ( p.p.
