Excerpt from American Hydroids, Vol. 3: The Campanularidæ and the Bonneviellidæ, With Twenty-Seven PlatesIf we imagine minute crystalline chalices, crenated or plain round the margin and mounted on slender pedi'cels, twisted spirally or delicately ringed, which are all united and bound to the body on which they grow by the finest network of tubes, we have the form which the polypary assumes in one section of this exquisite group. In another the species are arborescent and sometimes of considerable size, their tree-like tufts presenting the most lovely shapes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
