FLORA OF NEW ZEALAND. 



[Ijichenes. 



12. Cladonia decorticata, Morke, ut supra, p. 10. Fries, Lick. Eur. p. 226. 

 Hab. Northern Island, on wood, Colenso. 



The description of Fries leaves no doubt on our mind that his plant is the same as ours. — A little-known 



species. 



** Apothecia scarlet. 



13. Cladonia cornucopioides, Fries, Lieh. Eur. p. 236. C. coccifera, Auctt. 

 Hab. Northern Island, Colenso. 



The only specimen gathered by Mr. Colenso is a well marked fertile example, having the lower part of the 

 podetia granular, and the upper portion furfuraceo-pulverulent.— Universal throughout Europe and North America ; 

 also in tropical America, Tasmania, and the Antarctic regions. 



14. Cladonia Florkeana, Tries, Lick. Eur. p. 238, Florhe, ul supra, p. 99. Sehar.l Exs. n. 36. pr. 

 parte {sub C. filiforrni). L. digitatus, Engl. Bet. t. 2439. 



Hab. Middle Island, Lyall. 



Specimens well-marked, fertile. — Found over a great part of Europe and in North America, and probably in 

 many other parts of the world. 



15. Cladonia digilata, Hoffni. Fries, Lick. Eur. p. 240. 

 Hab. Northern Island, A. Cunningham, Colenso. 



Found in Europe, North America, and the West Indies. See below. 



16. Cladonia macilenta, Hoffm. Fries, Lick. Europ.pp. 240, 241. C. filiformis, Auctt. ex max. parte. 

 Hab. Northern Island, Colenso, J. B. II., Sinclair. 



This and the preceding are widely spread over the northern hemisphere, and it is to be suspected that they 

 may be almost as general in the southern ; the present Lichen has been found in Columbia, Chili, and the Falk- 

 lands abundantly. Upon the whole, the species of this genus seem chiefly to affect the temperate and frigid regions, 

 but several of them have been also found within the tropics. 



The present enumeration of the New Zealand Cladonia is no doubt incomplete ; C. deformis and C. corauta occur 

 in Europe, North America, and the Antarctic regions, and probably will be found in New Zealand. 



Gen. XIV. ByEOMYCES, Vers. 



1. Bseomyces roseus, Pers. et Auctt. B. fuugoides, Swartz! Lick. Amerie. p. 18. I. 13. 



Hab. Northern Island, Colenso, J. B. H. 



Swartz's Lichen from Jamaica does not seem to be more than a variety of the European ; an authentic specimen 

 is to be seen in the British Museum. — Found also in North America. Mr. Colenso's plant has much longer po- 

 detia than the European form, and would probably be called B. fuugoides by those who distinguish two species. 



Gen. XV. BIATOEA, Fries. 



a. Thallo effigurato ; aut squamuloso. 



1. Biatora Colensoi, Bab.; thallo effigurato subimbricato squamuloso, squamulis ascendentibus lobatis 

 erosis glaucis (humore non mutatis), subtus nitide ferrugineis, strato medullari subferrugineo, apotheciis 

 primitus concaviusculis nigrescentibus margine pallidiore, demum confluentibus difl'ormibus immarginatis 

 ferrugineo-nigris glaucescentibus intus ferrugineis. 



Hab. Northern Island, on earth, Colenso.
