Tuckerman refers to this plant as occurring on trees in Cuba, 

 and collected there by Mr. C. Wriglit. We have been able to 

 place this rare plant among the flora of North America. It was 

 found during the winter of 1887 on the bark of Ilex Cassine by 

 Mr. Calkins, and from the material submitted to me, I was led to 

 suppose that it was heretofore unobserved.

Nyl, N. Gran. p. 64; Lecanora pVRKiirns, Tuck. 



Another species peculiar to Cuba as referred to by Tucker- 

 man, and found at Jacksonville on the bark of various trees. A 

 well-marked and exceedingly interesting species also of sub- 

 tropical distribution.

This lichen was found in small quantities, but in sufficient 

 amount to clearly and accurately determine the species. It oc- 

 curred at Jacksonville and Palatka on smooth bark of Ilex Cassine.

Under the latter name Mr. Willcy says the plant occurs in 



the Atlantic States. I have received it from Jacksonville, where 



it appears to be quite a common species.

Found on smooth barks in the low country of Florida, and 



heretofore not in any recent list of lichens from that section of 

 North America. This plant belongs more properly to the tropi- 

 cal Graphids.
