PROCEEDINGS OP SECTION D, 317 



National Herbarium, Melbourne, collected by Merratt ; these 

 are labelled S. Billardiera, from determinations made by Dr. 

 Jeau Mailer. A specimen in Herbarium, Melbourne, labelled 

 Parmelia Billardiera, from Gippsland, collected by Webb, 

 also belongs to this species. 



Tasmania : Mount Wellington (Hooker), Asbestos Hills (Gunn 

 No. 53), Chestnut (Archer), Russell Falls (Cheel), Geeveston 

 (Blackshaw). 



New Zealand : (Lyall) (Colenso, Nos. 1574, 1721, 1722, 1725, 1761, 

 and 1757) (Cunningham) (Bell), Canterbury (Sinclair and Haast), 

 Ohakune (Cheel), Waiwera (Flockton). 



This is a very variable species and difl&cult to determine correctly. 

 Some of the forms are very narrow and are recorded under the 

 name S. linearis. Hook. & Tayl., and S. foveolata var. angusti- 

 folia, Krplhbr. (41, p. 119), while others are broad and are 

 labelled var. latifolia, Krplhbr. (41, p. 119), S. foveolata var. 

 Billardiera, Bab. (278), and probably S. impressa, Hook, et 

 Tayl., and of other authors seem to belong to this species. 

 S. ELATioR, Stirt. (38, p. 73) and S. lorifera, Stirt. (38, ^p. 71), both 

 from New Zealand appear from the description to be closely 

 allied to the above, but as I have not seen specimens, it is not 

 possible to express a definite opinion. 

 S. CARPOLOMA, Del. (6, p. 159). 



New Zealand : North Island (Sinclair), Astrolabe Harbor (vide 

 Nylander), Middle Island (D'Urville), Auckland Domain (Cheel), 

 Waiwera, Pokeno, and Parnell (Flockton). 



Some broad forms appear to be a connecting link with S. glaucolurida. 

 S, GLAUCOLURIDA, Nyl. (35, p. 36). 



New Zealand : (Travers) (Knight). 



A small specimen in Wilson Herbarium labelled S. glaucolurida is 

 discoloured, and seems to me to belong to S. carpoloma rather 

 than this species. 

 S. EXPANSA, Stirt. (38, p. 72). 



I have not seen specimens of this species, but from the description 

 it seems to be closely allied to this or may be the broad form of 

 S. carpoloma. 

 S. GLAUCESCENS, Krplh. (43, p. 334). 



Lord Howe Island : Mount Gower, Mount Lidgebird, and Saddle- 

 back (King, Hedley, Dunn, Johnstone, Watts, and Tighe). 



It is also recorded for Queensland, but I have not seen any specimens. 

 S. AURULENTA, Krplhbr. (43, p. 335), from Richmond River (Hodge- 

 kinson). 



I have not seen specimens, but according to Dr. Jean Muller (44, 

 p. 115), it is identical with S. glaucescens.
