IX TUE K£W irUSKUM. 245 



There seems to be some confusion in reference to tlie syno- 

 nyms in Nylander's ' Synopsis/ under S.gyalocarpa and S. KunUtii 

 ([). 842). I suspect it will be found that S. ci/athicarpa, Del, be- 

 longs to S, gyaJocarpa, Nyl. 



Sticta Gxiillemini (Nyl. Syn. p. 362). 



Is also a Stictina. There is, however, a pretty, fawn-coloured, 

 delicate lieben, referred by Bablngton to S. GiiiUemini, Mont. It 

 IS a tvxxe Sticta, with large gonidia, the thallus above covered with 

 soft wdiite hairs, pseudocyphella) citron-colour, apothecia pedlcel- 

 lated, scattered, and the thalline receptacle bairy. 



Sticta punctulata (Nyl. Syn. p. 36-4). 



The specimen collected by Dr, jNEaxwell in Ceylon and named 

 by Dr. Nylander is a Stictina. There is another specimen, how- 

 ever, also collected in Ceylon, but a much more robust plant, 

 referable to tlie genus Sticta. 



Sticta endochrjjsca (Nyl. Syn. p. 358). 



This plant and the synonyms ai^e correctly placed in Dr. 

 Nylander's work. In all the specimens in the Kew Museum 

 the thallus is covered with a most minute tomentum, as well as 

 the thalline receptacle of the apothecia. But there is another 

 species, curiously like the S. endochrysea, belonging to the genus 

 Stictina^ with the inner layer of the thallus yellow, the thallus 

 most minutely tuberculated, and the spores acicular. The plants 

 belonging to the latter are Lechler's pi. 562, ''Sticta Desfontainii'' 

 and Gay's plant "5. d'Urvillei, Del. (5. orygmcea, Mont.)," from 

 the Paris Museum. 



The following notes on the nomenclature of Stictei in the Kew 

 Museum may be useful.
