eal sists eDreks. 20955 * 
Leaves concave, the edge bluntly lobed, plaited when dry, 
- between ash and lead-coloured, when moist dark green. Differs ’ 
from L. Vespertilio in the edges of the leaves being elevated and 
concave, in being of an ash-lead colour when dry, the saucers 
being larger and not crowded. Dicxs. The young saucers 
have a border of the colour of the leaves, and are.sunk into the 
foliage. ‘The plant has the gelatinous texture of the L. granu. 
latus, and is not distinct from it. The L. granulatus varies 
without end: when it grows on moss it is a very large thick. 
leaved gelatinous plant. I have found specimens 4 or 5 inches 
in diameter and 1-10th of an inch thick.. In this state it bears 
only shining fleshy globules, as described by Dillenius, which 
are the rudiments of young plants, and when separated from the 
mother plant take root, and being removed. into a flower pot 
placed in a moist place they become perfect plants. Mr. Grir-

Grows closely crowded and tiled. Leaves very tender, pel-, 
lucid, rather gelatinous, very much cut, segments ending in 2, 3, 
or 4 horn-shaped teeth, dull brown, or purplish green, convex 
above, concave underneath. Ditt. Black and very brittle when 
dry. Dillenius has neither figured nor described the saucers, 
nor have I seen any plant in fruit. The colour of the saucers is 
therefore mentioned upon the authority of Hudson, but Mr. 
Griffith thinks that his plant was only a crowded variety of L. 
cristatus with palmated leaves, not uncommon in North Wales, 
Heaths and trunks of trees among moss. . A, Sept.—June.
