flowers plentifully, but fruits rarely. Can it be a hybrid between 
D. rotundifolium, D. C., and one of the erect species ? 
Mr. Commons has also found D. ochroleucum, M. A. Curtiss, 
near Felton, Delaware—the most northern locality yet known. 
This is a well-marked species, always distinguishable from its trail- 
ing allies by the light green color of the leaves, its ovate leaflets 
strongly reticulate-veined, as are the always twisted divisions of the 
loments, and its ochroleucous flowers. It fruits abundantly and is 
a rank grower. W. MG; 
$ 90. Two Lichens of Oregon.—The region proved to the experi- 
enced collector, Mr. Elihu Hall, less interesting as regards Lichens 
than California, and he was able to add but little to what was 
already known. The two plants now to be briefly described are, 
however, new to us. 
_Sticta Oregana (sp. nova)—thallo coriaceo-membranaces laciniato- 
lobato lacunoso-reticulato viridi-glaucescente, laciniis elongatis apice 
rotundatis sinuato-incisis margine crenato-lobulatis mox dissectis 
subtus inter papulas albas reticulatim brunneo-tomentosis ; apoth- 
eciis sparsis mediocribus (latit. 2-4 millim.) margine thallo concolore 
demum excluso. Spore 6-8" in thecis, e fusiformi aciculares, 
4-loculares, incolores, longit. 0,044-75 millim., crassit. 0,006-9 millim. 
Upon trunks of trees, Oregon, EZ. Hail. 
This fine accession to our Flora is not without a certain general 
resemblance to S. anthraspis, Ach., also peculiar to the West 
Coast, but belongs to the marked section of which S. pulmonaria 
is the type; differing from this no less in its ensemble than in its 
spores. Whatever the real rank of 8. linita, Ach., it is scarcely 
better comparable with the present. 
, Rinodina Hallii (sp. nova)—thallo crustaceo tenui contiguo 
rimoso cinerascente, hypothallo nigro limitato; apotheciis biato- 
rinis _mediocribus (latit. O™™, 7-1™™, 2) adnatis plano-convexis, 
-‘Mmargine obtuso integerrimo fusco discum fusco-nigrum opacum 
demum turgidum cingente. Hypothecium incolor. Spore octone 
in thecis, ellipsoidex, biloculares, fuse, longit. 0,019-30 millim., 
crassit. 0,009-15 millim., paraphysibus bene distinctis. ; 
Upon bark, Oregon, # Hall.” Upon Redwood, and Oak, Cali- 
fornia, H. N. Bolander. 
RR. sophodes v. confragosa is the most distinguished form of this 
_ genus on the Western coast, occurring on rocks and on the earth, 
___where the fruit attains to the largest size perhaps as yet noted (the 
Width exceeding 2™™) and also on trees, From this the present is 
Seen at once to differ in its biatorine exciple, and generally Lecidee- 
me aspect. The disk, in several specimens, is more or less dis- 
tinetly white-pruinose. ’ Epw. TucKERMAN: ©)
