^T^HIS adheres, by a claw at the bafe, to putrid wood, in 

 ■*■ wet and moifr. places. It is of a tough coriaceous fubftance. 

 The ftem folid, and of a black colour, which blacknefs changes 

 to a dufky kind of yellow, towards the top. The margin is 

 fmooth, even, and rather obtufe ; the infide of the cup is 

 fmooth, and of a duiky kind of ochre colour. 



I have gathered this plant in feveral places near Halifax. 

 I find no proper figure or description of it.

/ "T" V HE root is brown, hard, and furnifhed with fliort, black 

 -*- fibres. The tube is narrow towards the bafe, and of 

 equal breadth for about half the length of the plant; it then 

 fpreads out into the limb, which is elegantly undulated, waved, 

 and curled, at the margin. It has a few almoil imperceptible 

 veins on the outfide, the infide is fmooth, and feels a little 

 downy to the touch. The colour on the outfide is a dufky 

 golden hue, firongeil near the root; the colour within a dufky 

 brown. The fubftance, tough and elaftic. The height, one or 

 two inches. 



It is a rare fpecies here. I gathered the fpecimens here 

 figured and defcribed, in Ramfden-Wood, Oclober 17, 1786.
