*gngropila that I apprehend it can only be diftinguifhed from that fpecics 

 by its very different mode of growth. For the drawing which reprefents 

 C. Broivuii of the natural fize, and when magnified 3 and I, I am iadebted 

 to the kindnefs of my friend Jofeph Woods.

 the Cave Hill near Belfaft, growing among Hypmtm teneUum ; Mr. 

 Templelon. In Caves by the Sca-fule near Bantry; Mtfs Hutchlns. 



Mr. R. Brown, who firft difcovered this plant feveral years ago, favored 

 me with a fpecimen under the prefent name. It is of about the fize of 

 C. velutina, but its mode of ramification is widely different. The mag- 

 nified drawing at plate C was made from a dried fpecimen by Mr. Hooker. 



75. velutina. C. fills ramofis, repentibus, abbreviatis, pulvinatis, implexis, 

 Icete viridibus ; ramis eredlis obtufis ; articulis diametro multuplo longiori- 

 bus. T. 77. 



76. umbrofa. C. filis ramofis repentibus, abbreviatis, fragilibus, nigro viridibus; 

 ramis curvis, fimplicibus, fub fecundis, obtufis, articulis cylindraceis in- 

 flatifquc longitudine variantibus. T. 61. 



77. multicapfularh. C. filis ramofis, repentibus, nignvolivaceis ; ramis erectis, 

 fimpliciufculis, brevibus, apicem verfus incraffatis & capfuliferis ; capfulis 

 ■congeftis, articulis longitudine variantibus. T. 71 and T. D. 



At Plate D is reprefented an extraordinary appearance of this fpecies, 

 which I have obferved fince my defcription was publifhed in a fpecimen 

 gathered near Swanfea. The drawing was made by Mr. You^g. 



78. pulveria. C. filis dichotomo-ramofis, repentibus, minutiffimis, apice cap- 

 fuliferis, xruginoiis ; diffepimentis fub-obfoletis, articulis diametro triplo 

 longioribus. T. D.
