LICHENS FOUND DURING THE 
WORCESTER FORAY. 
By H. H. Kmght, M.A. 
The woods generally in the Midland Counties have a poor 
Lichen Flora, and this was the case with those visited during 
the Foray. Also the northern part of the County may perhaps 
suffer from the smoke of the industrial towns of the Birmingham 
district. 
In Ockeridge and Shrawley Woods the most noticeable feature 
was the abundance of Calicium hyperellum and Chaenotheca 
melanophaea, both growing on oaks. Another of the Caliciaceae, 
Cyphelium inquinans, was plentiful on old gates outside Trench 
Woods. Graphidaceae were scarce in all the woods, and Graphis 
elegans was seen on only one tree. A few saxicole species were 
noticed on walls by houses, and two common species of Verru- 
caria were found on Lias stones outside Trench Woods. Speci- 
mens of Umbilicaria pustulata gathered on Malvern Hills the 
previous week were exhibited at the meeting.
