Cyanostylon sp. ( Figs. 6F–6G View FIGURES 6 ).
Dendroid, stratified, dense gelatinous colonies, 8–50 celled, often more. Mucilaginous stalks tubular, short, round to elliptical, simple, firm, hyaline to slightly brown and purple, conspicuous, lamellate, 8.0–9.5 × 3.1–7.5 µm. Cells spherical, (2.5)3.0–4.5 µm diam., 1–4 disposed at the stalk end. Cell content homogeneous, pale olive-green.
Habitat: —Wet rocks near a waterfall.
Notes: —This population is similar to Stilocapsa lilacina Xiu & H.X. Xiao (2004: 206) , mainly due to the coloration and structure of the colonies, and also the cell diameter. They differ in relation to the cell content and stalk diameter, which are respectively granulated and wider in S. lilacina (15.0–26.0 µm diam.). However, this species is invalidly published since the authors did not designate a type (as well as a habitat). Since Stilocapsa Ley (1947: 77) is synonymous to Cyanostylon Geitler (1928a: 441) , we maintained the Atlantic Rainforest population as Cyanostylon sp.
