II. (ladiKL 



The name Ciuliui, pliir. i^aiiak, designates foliaceous lichens, chiefly of 

 the genera Pnriiielid and Gyropliont. Specific gadna names referring to the 

 habitus, qualities or other peculiarities of the lichens in question, have not 

 been developed, such as was the case with the /Vr<yr/-names. The specific 

 gndiia-mmns which 1 have met with refer to the habitats. 



One informant (J. M. S.) distinguished between gœdge-gadiia [stone- 

 gadna] and iiiiiorra-gndna [tree-gadna|, a distinction that hardly refers to 

 different botanical species. In addition to the gœdge-gadna another infor- 

 mant (N. P. r.l mitr\\\ox\ii<\ jœgrl-gadna [lichen-gadnaj, designating Nephroma 

 arcticuni. A third informant (A.L. S.) maintained that there were two diffe- 

 rent ga'dgc-gadna, one of them more delicate, the other coarser, nay there 

 are almost three different kinds and the third one is almost like black beard. 

 This third kind which was not identified, is supposed to be Pannelia pu- 

 besceiis or Alecloria nigricans (cfr. Qvigstad 1. c. No. 141 j. 



I have never heard the special gadua-mmi^?, which Qvigstad has men- 

 tioned: gæåge-davjasat [stone-heather, heather - Calhina vidi^aris\ and sœidne- 

 ganak [wall-ganak]. 



III. Lappo. 



As before mentioned the name lappa, plur. lappok, designates beard- 

 lichens [Alcctoriac and C/sneae) on trees. I have met with no special lappa 

 name referring to the qualities or the habitus of the different botanical 

 species. The names only refer to the substratum. 



Thus some informants (J. M. S. and A. L. S.) mentioned soakke-lappo 

 [birch-beard-lichen, birch = Betiila odorata\ and bcccce-lappo [pine-beard- 

 lichen, pine = Piniis silvester\ A. LS. also gitossa-lappo [spruce-beard-lichen, 

 spruce = Picea excelsa]. 



The following statement by J. M. S. indicates a certain distinction be- 

 tween the (botanical) species: 'Zc?/)/»«? is either /-»crfa'-/(r?/>/>o [pine-beard-lichen] 

 which is dark, or soakke-lappo [birch-beard-lichen ] which is pale'. Bcecce- 

 lappo evidently refers to the dark northern Alcctoriac: A. jtibata and A. 

 Freniontii, soakke-lappo to Usnea sorediifera (the pale beard Alcctoriac and 

 the other Usiica species are lacking or rare in Finmarken). 



A. L. S. said that bcecce-lappo is slightly coarser than gtiossa-lappo. The 

 former name probably suggests Alectoria Frcmontii, the latter perhaps Alectoria 

 jubata (?). 



Arranged after the botanical names the common Lapponian lichen 

 names in Finmarken are the following: 



Cladonia alpestris: oaivve-jægcl [head-lichen]. The half Norwegian: 

 Toppa-jfcgel [topp-lichen] is also in use. 



Cladonia rangifcrina (sensu ang.) and CI. silvatica are generally inter- 

 preted as juvenile CI. alpestris, in that case they are designated as oaivve- 

 jœgcl. If not, they are named rancs-jœgel [grey lichen] or siuarvve [crisp
