CRYPTOGAMIA. ALG. Lichen. WH. Herbaceous, 
~, Lightfoot’s description very good, but the’ young saucers 
have more the appearance at first of warts than tubercles, being 
* merely risings in the substance of the leaves, with a stall-per- 
forated point in the centre. As these swell, the edges recede 
and the disk is discovered. I have always’seen the shields and - 
balls on the same plant, and if it be true that these and the 
shields are distinct parts of fructification, the glomerula must be 
male and not female, as: Micheli, and after him Scopoli have 
supposed : as Hedwig has clearly proved the:seed-vessels and: 
seeds to be situate in the shields of such species as he has exa- 
mined, from whence analogy will certainly point them out to 
be so in all. Mr: Woopwarp. Spreading ina circular form-to a 
large size, greyish blue, smooth and even, rough underneath 
and dirty white or brown, with numerous fibres. Leaves solid, 
tough, rather leathery, variously and elegantly cut. Saucers the
