 convex, not collapsing.

The specimens in all the Exsiccati above referred to, are unsatis-

 are too immature to show an accurate outline. The peritliecia in these 

 specc. are mostly in small patches as in S. maculiformis, and in this 

 respect do not agree with the description given by Schweinitz.
