Extract

A species believed to be more primitive than C. natans (Grontved) (type species of Calliacantha Leadbeater) has been described and illustrated by means of light and electron microscopy of dry whole mounts prepared in situ from freshly gathered sea water, mainly in South Africa but supplemented by one gathering from Britain.
