A very Arctic plant, inhabiting Melville Island in Arctic America, and Lapland in Europe; in the latter 
continent it extends as far south as the Alps and Pyrenees, and to the Canary Tslands in the Atlantic Ocean.

The most magnificent of Lichens, whether we regard the size of the thallus, which often is a foot and upwards 
across, the general aspect, or the size and beautiful colour of the frond and copious apothecia. Its European range 
is very northern, being confined to Scandinavia, reaching Lapland but not the islands beyond, nor inhabiting 
any countries south of the Baltic. In North America it ranges over the wooded regions and barren lands, 
542-699, and to the west of the Rocky Mountains descends to Fort Vancouver, in Lat, 46° N. 
2. NEPHROMA cellulosa, Ach.; Lich. Univ. p. 523. 
Has. Staten Land; Menzies (in Hook. Herb.) 
A very much smaller species than the former, approaching very closely to the N. resupinata of Europe. It also 
inhabits Juan Fernandez and Tasmania.

Has. Strait of Magalhaens; MM. Hombron and Jacquinot. 
Very abundant in Tasmania and New Zealand, also found in Lord Auckland's group and Campbell’s Island. 
In Europe, it ranges from Switzerland to Sweden and Norway; in America, from Mexico to Sitka, but does not 
proceed so far north on the east of the Rocky Mountains; it also inhabits the West Indies, Colombia, the Cape of 
Good Hope, and other warm climates. Altogether it is a plant which does not shun the cold so markedly as do 
either of the following species, for it (the var. scutata) is also found as far as the northern limits of the forest 
regions of Arctic America. 
2. PrurIDEA canina, Ach.? Lich. Univ. p.517. Engl. Bot. t. 2299. 
Has. Falkland Islands; on tufts of Bolas glebaria, rare. 
In the Southern Hemisphere the P. canina has been found in Juan Fernandez only. Its range in the Northern 
is very wide, commencing in Mexico it is dispersed as far north as Canada on the east coast, and Sitka on the 
west. In Europe it is frequent from the Alps to Lapland, but does not inhabit the Arctic Island of Spitzbergen in 
Europe, or the shores of the Polar Sea and Islands beyond in America, where the P. apthosa abounds, a species 
not hitherto found in the Antarctic regions. The Falkland Island specimens are in a very imperfect state.
