A sterile specimen, but with the same reaction as L. interversans (Med.

which differs in having lobate margins to the apothecia, and narrower spores.

Thallus foliaceus, elauco-flavescens vel pallide cervinus ca. 10-15 em. lat. 
adscendens (?) nou adpressus, versus ad basim laciniatus ; laciniæ sat angus-

spersa ; pagina inferior fere ad apicem pilis erebris fuscis instructa, ambitua 
subnuda (K—, CaCl—). Gon/idia nostocacea, cæruleo-virescentia, conglome-

Lobaria. The upper surface resembles that of Sticta ergyracea, The under 
surface, at the tips of the laciniæ, is occasionally golden-brown. The thallus 
is closely attached to the support where it touches, but the main part is free.
