iVlR. Grifhth in Dr. Withering's Botanical Arrange- 

 ment, vol. 4. tab. 395. obferves that this plant is the 

 old ftate of Lichen tricolor. I have had it from Mr. Abbot 

 and others on pieces of Hick, 8cc. where it fliould ap- 

 pear the Lichen tricolor could never have exifted. Small 

 raorfels of Lichen jcriptus may refemble it a little, but 

 a fcrupulous examination of the true plant will prove 

 it to be really diilinit.
