264 White: The Nidulariaceae of North America 



The above description is based on the original specimens. 

 Schweinitz, in his description of this species, says : " Sporangiis 

 non nitentibus, sed superficie reticulato-rugosa," but no such 

 markings were noticeable. 



This is a pretty little species, and is known only from its 

 original collection.
