This is the commonest representative of C. vulgaris Fries on the Pacific coa.st, and it has 

 been mistaken for C. imlgarns juncella Fries. Our plant has commonly been called C. decidua 

 Boott, a species from Terra del Fue^o and the Falkland Islands, but that has conspicuously 

 stipitate perigj'nia. Specimens from the mouth of the Columbia, Oregon, collected by 

 Hinds and by Henderson have stipitate perigj'nia and represent either true C. decidua or a 

 very closely allied species.
