 On the mossy trunk of an aged oak in the New Forest, Hants ; 

 C. Lycll, Esq.—" The fronds (or thalli) form broad patches among 

 moss, upon the ground or on the decayed trunks of trees, and are up- 

 right or ascending, clustered, but not very closely crowded, \— £ an 

 inch high, each spreading from a tapering tubular base into a sort of 

 cornucopias form, dilated upwards, pinnatifid, jagged, crisped and spread- 

 ing at the extremities ; the upper surface concave, of a bright pea-green; 

 the under convex, and, as well as the crisped edges, white. Tubercles 

 one or more from the central part of each leaf, convex, often umbilicat- 

 ed, of a light red-brown, on shortish tubular pale stalks, one of which 

 sometimes bears several tubercles. Small dark-brown sessile warts also 

 occur on the disk of the leaves. This species is one of those nearly 

 allied to the Cup-Lichens, both in the fronds and tubercles, but which 

 do not bear cups." Sm. 



2. S. parasiticus, (delicate Cup-Lichen); thallus of minute 

 foliaceous lobed and crenate scales glaucous-green, podetia 

 somewhat fleshy scaly simple or branched dilated upwards and 

 bearing a cluster of pale-brown (when dry almost black) apo- 

 thecia. — Cladonia parasitica, Schccr. Lich. Helv. Spicil. p. 37.,

On rotten rails in St. Leonard's forest, Sussex, Mr. Borrer. On the de- 

 cayed trunk of a tree at Barham, Suffolk, Hooker. On an old wall, Appin , 

 Capt. CarmichaeL — This is a small species and apparently of rare occur- 

 rence. — Mr. Schacrer informs us that Acharius, in his Mss., after the 

 publication of the " Synopsis" enumerated this among the species of 

 Siereocaulon. This and the preceding and following species differ from 

 the rest of the Scyphophori, in having fleshy podetia: and might almost 

 rank with Bceomyces, where two of them are placed in Loudon's Hor- 

 tus Brilannicus. 



3. s. microphyllus, (small-leaved Cup Lichen); thallus of mi- 

 nute somewhat imbricated rounded nearly entire scale-, podetia 

 simple tubular quite smooth and naked (fleshy), apothecia soli- 

 tary capitate convex brown somewhat lobed. — Lichen micro- 

 phyllus, Sm.tn E. lint.t. L782. — •• Baomyces microphyUus, Ach.

Wet heathy places in Filgate and St Leonard's forests, Sussex; in 



the winter, but not frequent, Mr- Borrer. 



4. 8. s/Kinissns. (torn-coated Cup-Lichen); thallus of cartila- 

 ginous minute lobed ami cut scales, podetia cylindrical repeat- 

 edly branched rigid ash-coloured rough with innumerable scaly 

 leaflet-, cups minute toothed pervious repeatedly proliferous 

 tVuni their margin, apothecia cluttered brown. Sm. — Cenomya
