CRYPTOGAML\ ALGM. Sii 



Yellow farinaceous or crufted Lichen. A'r7j^3. 



Upon v;all3 and rocks com;non, and upon boards 

 and old pales. 



Of this there are two varieties. The firfl: has a fa- 

 rinaceous crull, of no regular figure, covered 

 with numerous fniall, greenifh;-yello\v, or olive 

 ihields. This grows commonly upon old boards, 

 and is that tigured by Dillen. t. 18./. 18. B. 



The other has a fmooih, hard, circular cruft, 

 wrinkled and lobed at the circumference, whjch 

 adheres clolcly to rocks and ftones. In the cen- 

 tre are numerous fliields, of a deeper yellow or 

 orange colour, which, as they grow old, I'v^ell 

 m the middle, and affjme the figure of tuber- 

 cles. This is that figured by Dillen- t. 1?. /. 

 iS. A. C. and is that named by Iludfcn l^.fla- 

 I'cfcens Fl. Aug. p 445. which we are inciin*d ro 

 think, with that ingenious gentleman, is dJUind 

 iVom the preceding -, but the great and refpcCt- 

 able names of Duienius^ Linn^ttSy and others, 

 are againfi: our opinion. 



The inhabitants of Srno'if/nd, in SzveJ^n^ fcrapc 

 this Lichen from the rocks, and mix it with 

 their tallow^, to make gu'dt-D canJics to bum 

 pn feftival days.
