556 BEY. J. M. CKOMBIE ON THE LICHENS OF 



■ 



sufficiently characteristic, and was rightly referred by Acharius, 

 L. U. p. 596, and by subsequent authors to this species. 



F. 15. Usnea dichotoma eompressa, segmentis capillaceis tere- 

 tibus, p. 72, = Chlohea canabiensis (Ach.). Sterile, and with 

 pale coloured thallus. This was strangely referred by Fries in 

 ' Index Dill/ to a species which he calls Evernia lacunosa. 



F. 16. Usnea capillacea eitrina, fruticuli specie, p. 73, = Pht- 

 scia elayicaks (Sw.). Of this there are three specimens, typical, 

 but sterile. Erroneously referred by Linnaeus to his Lichen vulpi- 

 nus, in which he was followed by Hudson and the older British 

 authors. 



F. 17. Lichen pulmonarius minimus subluteus, receptaculis 

 florum coronatus, mali aurantii col oris, Mich. p. 74,=Puyscia 

 cnRYSOPHTHAMiA (£.). There is no specimen in hb. Dill. ; but 



Michaeli, leaves no doubt as to the 



identity. 



Genus V. Coralloides. 



Order I. 



Fungiform species, neither tubulose nor branched. 



Tab. XIV., Dill. Hist. Muse. 



F. 1. Coralloides fungiforme carneum, basi leprosa, p. 76, 

 Br^omyces rosetjs (Pers.). There are several specimens of 

 this, all of which are well fruited, though with paler apothecia. 



F. 2. Coralloides fungiforme fuscum, basi foliacea, p. 77, 

 Cladonia CABIOSA (Ach.). Typical, but very fragmentary. 

 Erroneously, and notwithstanding the description given, supposed 

 to denote Bceomyces rvfus, DC. Along with it in hb. Dill, is a 

 fragment of Cladonia deli cat a (Ehrh.); but, judging from the dia- 

 gnosis and the figure, C. cariosa is the species which Dillenius had 

 in view. 



F. 3. Coralloides fungiforme arboreum nigrum vix crustosum, 

 p. 78. A = Calicium TRAcnELiNL^r, Ach. Only a small frag- 

 mentary specimen. Rightly identified by Fries, L. E. p. 390, 

 and referred doubtfully by Turner and Borrer, L. Br. p. 151, to 

 C. debile (Sm.)=C. subtile, Pers. B = Calicitjm hymsbelltTO, 

 Ach. Also fragmentary, with only two or three apothecia visible. 

 Referred by Fries to C chri/socephalum, and by Turner and Borrer 

 to C. sphcerocephalum (Web.).
