Has. Lord Auckland’s group and Campbell’s Island; on the trunks of trees and on rocks in moun- 
tainous places, very abundant. 
An exceedingly variable plant, of which we have added a character, that of Delise being imperfect. The most 
obvious specific distinction lies in the pubescent apothecia with fimbriated margins to the cups, to which may be 
added, the pale colour, and the wrinkled margins of the lobes, which are sometimes extremely concave. In alpine 
specimens the thallus is often quite smooth underneath, with the margins singularly crumpled. The colour varies, 
underneath it is of all shades, from black to a dirty yellow. Cape Horn and Falkland Island specimens are more 
plane, with the lobes and apothecia larger. 
4. Sticra cellulifera, Hook. fil. et Tayl.; thallo stellatim expanso subdichotome ramoso fusco v. flavo 
olivaceo seepe virescente glabro profunde reticulatim lacunoso rimis albidis, subtus fuliginoso tomentoso api- 
cibus loborum flavescentibus, lobis latiusculis rotundatis angulatisve subacutis obtusis retusisve, cyphellis 
parvis flavis, apotheciis plurimis plerisque marginalibus, disco atro plano demum concavo, marginibus integris 
crenulatisve inflexis. 
Haz. Lord Auckland's group and Campbell’s Island; on the trunks and. branches of trees, abundant, 
also on the mountain rocks. 
We know of no single character.by whicli this form, which is as variable as any of its congeners, may be recog- 
nized. In its normal state the whole frond is fully a span across, all parts of it rugose with deep lacunze ; specimens 
from the woods are of a lax habit, with lobes an inch broad, of a pale brown or yellow beneath ; those from the 
mountains, again, are deep olive green and almost black beneath, with the lobes short and round, and the cyphelle 
of a bright yellow. In many respects it is very closely allied to the 5. carpoloma, Delise, which, according to Mon- 
tagne (whose authentically named collection of Sticte is the completest I have seen), has the apothecia invariably mar- 
ginal. The present plant includes in part both S. impressa and S. cellulifera, of the * London Journal of Botany.’ 
5. Srrora Menziesia, Hook. fil. et Tayl.; thallo stipitato valde coriaceo obovato-cuneato ecostato flavo- 
fusco subtus brunneo, laciniis planiusculis lobatis retusis supra glaberrimis levibus subtus puberulis, cyphellis 
immersis luteis marginibus elevatis, apotheciis sparsis atro-fuscis, disco plano demum concavo, marginibus 
tenuiter inflexis. 
Has. Lord Auckland’s group; on the trunks of old trees. 
Discovered by Mr. Menzies in Dusky Bay, New Zealand. Very distinct from 4. filicina, of Acharius, in the 
ecostate frond, very thick texture, and dark coloured apothecia. Mr. Menzies’ specimens have rather broader lobes, 
but do not otherwise differ from those gathered in Lord Auckland’s group. The 8. latifrons, A. Rich., is also costate, 
and of a different colour, with small pale yellow-red apothecia. The present is in New Zealand probably confined 
to the southern extremity. 
6. Sricra Richardi, Mont., Voy. au Pole Sud, ined. S. carpoloma, A. Richard, Flor. Nov. Zel.p.80.t. 9.6.1, 
Has. Lord Auckland’s group; on the trunks of trees.
