I agree with Waixîo in regarding Parmelia paiiiiifonuis a proper 

 species. Its habitus is very peculiar and constant. Apothecia are nearly 

 alwa3'S developed in Pannclia proli.xa, in P. paiiiiifonuis they are rare, 

 though not SO rare as many authors suppose ('rarissime" Th. Fries Lieh. 

 Scand. p. 123). 



Its distribution is also peculiar: it is a northern and continental species, 

 much more common in Northern than in Southern Norway, more common 

 in the eastern lowlands and the valleys than on the south coast and not 

 recorded from the west coast. Apothecia are also more common in Fin- 

 marken than in our southern provinces. 



PariiH'lia paiiiiifonuis is a very neglected species, it certainly has a 

 wider distribution in Norway than the above stations indicate.
