triable, some confusion yet remained. We have now arran 
them, guided by their structure, and as they naturally fall under 
two species, the third species of Haller and Lightfoot, called 
wvermiculatis, and its varieties, associates with one or, other of 
these two. In this disposition of these subjects I am happy to 
have the concurrence of Mr. Woodward, whose accuracy and 
industry have added so greatly to the value of this work, and 
who had, without any previous knowledge of my intention, ar- 
ranged the plants in question nearly as they now stand,

These plants are very brittle, slender at the base, rounded at 
the end, sometimes, though rarely, cloven: 2 or 3 inches high, 
and as thick as a raven’s quill. ©

About 13 of an inch high and inch diameter; nearly of 
equal thickness but rather flatted, and sometimes slightly cloven 
_ at the top. Colour pale orange, but the whole surface studded 
with deeper orange coloured tubercles which are broadest at the 
base, pointed and transparent at the apex ; the interstices filled 
with a whitish cobweb-like substance. ; 
The figure of Schaffer represents the tubercles very imper- 
fectly, but they are mentioned in the description, Bull. 490. 1 ; 
gives a good idea of the tubercles, but that has a stem support- 
inga head, and therefore belongs. to the preceding sub-division. 
The circumstance of the tubercles appearing on every part of 
_ the plant is sufficient to distinguish this species from all others.
