Han. On trees ; Tahiti ; Beechey, Hook. herb.— Patches several 
inches wide. 'The younger thallus very pale olive-green, 
the more aged of an obscure amethystine hue: the buds 
that cover the apothecia are of different colours in propor- 
tion to their ages, some pale olive-green, others reddish, 
others again purplish-blue. Allied to Stephanophorus 
Kraussii, Flotow, and to St. dedaleus, Flotow; but its 
colour, its pellucid thallus, and its soft consistence like 
that of a Tremella, serve easily to distinguish it.
