Han.—No. 5. Uitenhage; Zeyher, Hook. herb.—Thallus 
sometimes two inches wide, variously lobed, sometimes 
linear, sometimes rotundate, but at the periphery usually 
‘inciso-sinuate, resembling in its mode of branching 
P. conspersa, Ach., but in colour and general habit 
approaching P. Aerbacea, Ach. The inferior surface is 
nearly black, and polished beneath the margins of the 
lobes.

lineari, dichotomo, lævigato, laciniis elongatis, convexi- 
usculis, acutis, lutescenti-albidis, subtus nigris, rugosis, 
canaliculatis ; gemmis minutis, subrotundis, apice nigro- 
punctatis; apotheciis sparsis, substipitatis, disco conca- 
vissimo, castaneo, margine crenulato, inflexo. 
Has. Nepal; Wallich.—Tufts four inches high. Thallus 
increasing in breadth just before branching; ultimate 
branches lanceolate, beneath furnished with a few scat- 
tered, short, black, scabrous trice. This species is allied

more flat, and the dg occur in crowded short apis 
which are absent from our plant. 
31. P. ophioglossa, Tayl.; thallo cæspitoso, adscendente, 
rufo, basi flavicante, subdichotomo, laciniis elongato-ellip-
