830 THE CRYPTOGAMIC FLORA OF KENT. 



Var. pUcata, Fr. E. B. 257. On stunted bushes with the last. 

 Lytic! Beach. 



Var. Florida, Fr. E. B. 872. On the rock left hand of the 

 rivulet, in the way from the High Eocks to Kusthall Com- 

 mon ; Forster Fl. Tonhr. Lydd Beach. 



Var. riihitjinea, Ach. On trees in damp places ; frequent. 

 Thornden Wood. On trees near the bridge in Hurst Wood, 

 Tunbridge Wells. Trees near Lydd. 

 Easily recognised by the reddish tint which pervades the tufts ; 

 it appears to be by far the commonest form in this county. 



Var. ceratina, Schaer. On stunted blackthorn bushes, Lydd 

 Beach ; not common. 



Alectoria jubata, Ach. ParmeJia juhata (Forster Fl. Tunbr.) 



On rocks; very rare in Kent, and probably now extinct. 



E. B. t. 1880. 

 On the rocks in the httle lane to Eusthall Common (from the 



High Eocks) ; Forster Fl. Tunbr. 

 Although this lichen is still abundant on one of the High 

 Eocks, I have not been able to detect the least trace of it (1868) 

 on the Kentish side of the stream that divides the two counties. 



EvERNiA PRUNASTRi, L. Parmelia prunastri (Jenner Fl. Tunbr.) 

 Common on trees and railings. The fruit rather rare. 



E. B. t. 859. 

 hi fructification at Brenchley ; Hawkhurst ; Eedleaf (near 

 Penshurst); Jenner FL Tiinhr. On larch trees, sparingly, 

 Wrotham. Without fructification at Abbey Wood, Bexley, 

 Chelsfield, Penshurst, Edeubridge, Shoreham, Sevenoaks, 

 Wye, Hothfield, Chislelmrst. 

 This is one of the few fohaceous lichens that approach within 

 10 miles of London. 



Eamalina calicaris (Rofm.) 



Var. canaliculata, Fr. On trees in parks ; frequent. Sandwich; 

 Eomney Marsh, near Hythe ; in fruit in Hothfield Park. 

 Easily recognised by the slender channelled thallus. 

 Var. suhampliata, Nyl. Eomney Marsh. 



E. FARINACEA (L.) 



On trees, frequent; E. B. t. 889. 



Bexley ; Crofton Woods ; Penshurst ; Tunbridge Wells ; Thorn- 

 den Wood ; Hothfield ; Postling. 



Exceedingly rare in fructification. Leighton, in his *' Lichen 

 Flora of Great Britain," observes, " I have never seen any speci- 

 men in fructification." I met with a few specimens in fruit at 

 Falmouth last year on trees near the sea, and am told by Mr. W. 

 Curnow that he finds it also sparingly in the same position at 

 Penzance. It may therefore be looked for near the sea in Kent as 

 at Lympiie, &c. 



Eesenibles II. canaliculata, l)ut has numerous small soredia on 

 the mar<2:ins.
