rosis, quasi rhizinoideis, albidis, fasciculatim dispositis prcesertim 

 apices versus ramulorum obsita. 



Prope New Galloway Scotias, a J. M'Andrew lecta. 



Cladonia confertula. 



Similis CI. squamosa var. frondosce (Del.), sed phyllocladiis 

 subtus K , C. virescenti-cajrulescentibus, serius et ultimo flaves- 

 centibus. 



Phyllocladia basalia ampla auguste sinuoso-linearia (longit. 

 circ. 4 mm.) erecta, confefta, subtus alba vel albida ; podetia 

 corticata, brevia (alt. 5-12 mm.) ascypha, simplicia vel apices 

 versus parce ramosa, e laciniis oriunda, sparsim squamuloia prae- 

 sertim supra ; apothecia fusca, juniora planiuscula et pallide mar- 

 ginata, demum convexula et leviter marginata et tunc fusco-nigra, 

 plerumque aggregata vel etiam conglomerata.
