Interior of New South Wales, Allan Cunningham. I had received 

 the same from Mr. James Drummond, from Swan River. 



Thallus from 1 to 2 inches high, fastigiate, very rough ; apothecia 

 larger than in any of the congeners. The fibrils of the thallus and 

 the cilise of the apothecia are quite analogous, and are buds, which 

 may be observed expanding into new thallus. 



The Vsneajiorida of Acharius is known from the present, by its 

 greater size and by the backs of its apothecia being quite smooth. 



Parmelia tuhularis, Tayl. Thallo orbiculari, stellato, albido, lobis 

 subpinnatifidis, linearibus, planiusculis, subtus inflatis, impresso-cor- 

 rugatis, aterrimis, glabris : gemmis marginalibus, elongato-granulatis 

 demum linearibus : apotheciis substipitatis, concavis, disco castaneo 

 laevi, mavgine subintegerrimis. 



Interior of New South Wales, Allan Cunningham. I had the same 

 from Van Diemen's Land, by favour of Dr. Balfour. 



Thallus from 1 to 2 inches in diameter, white, with black edges ; 

 the linear lobes are sometimes convex. The apothecia sometimes in 

 old age are half an inch in diameter, and then jagged at the edges and 

 nearly plane at the disk. 



This is one of a small tribe of the Parmeliae with inflated lobes. It 

 is easily known from the European P. diatrype and P. physodes both 

 of Acharius, by the deeper division of the thallus into linear lobes to 

 the very centre, while the lobes themselves are far more distinct.

Art. CCXXXIX. — List of Plants observed in the dried-up bed of a 

 Wear on Luddenden-hrook, in July, 1844. By S. King, Esq. 



The following is a list of plants observed during the month of July, 

 1844, growing upon what is in this neighbourhood called damstones 

 (a wear), situate in Luddenden-brook. It is a sort of novelty, many 

 of the plants contained in it being strangers in the neighbourhood ; 

 and will at least show the dryness of the season, and the scarcity of 

 water, in permitting the seeds to vegetate in such a place, which con- 

 tains little more than a hundred yards of surface. It will also show, 

 in some degree, the means whereby plants are frequently dispersed 

 abroad to places foreign to them, as there is not the least doubt that 

 many of them have escaped from the sweepings of the corn-mill which 

 stands upon the stream a few hundred yards above, whither they had
