The group of the Phæosporeæ was first recognised by Thuret in 1850. It includes algæ that vary greatly in size, habit, external appearance, and mode of branching, some possessing a flat thalloid appearance with or without a long stalk (e.g., Laminariæ), others being filamentous and much branched (e.g., Ectocarpus, Sphacelaria, Chordaria, &c). The great majority of the genera included in the group are marine or brackish water forms, but recently E. Flahault has described, under the name of Lithoderma fontanum, a fresh water species from the neighbourhood of Montpellier.
