The material is without isidia, and would represent what Wainio (Lich. Bres. 

 1: 235. 1800) calls Collema vcspertilio (Lightf.) Wainio, but the original plants 

 upon which these names were based are doubtful.

At base of tree, Watling's Island, near Cockburn Town : Alabama ; Kansas. 

 The type came from calcareous rocks, and as the present material is sterile, the de- 

 termination must be considered uncertain, although the thalline characters agree 

 with the material in the Tuckerman Herbarium.
