ENDOCARPE^. 13 



In the letter accompanying his specimens, Mr. Salwey 

 writes, Jmie G, 1844 : " One of the specimens (which I 

 retain) has the merit of exhibiting the fruit which has 

 hitherto been undetected. Apothecia black, partly im- 

 mersed in the frond, at first globular, afterwards flattened 

 at the top, and the apex, which is also black, projecting 

 from it, with a narrow neck, at an oblique angle with the 

 surface of the frond." 



Mr. Borrer suggests {in lit, 1850), that E. tenue 

 would have been a jjetter name. 



In company with Mr. Salwey I searched the Shropshire 

 locality, 18th July, 1850, but owing to the altered state 

 of the ground through planting, we could not detect the 

 plant.

On Elm at Hurstpierpoint, and on Ash at Beeding, 

 Sussex ! Mr. Borrer. 



The apex of the apothecium is very dark brown, which 

 colour extends to the upper half of the tunic of the nucleus, 

 the rest being pale. The number and form of the sporidia 

 keep this quite distinct from E. pallidum and sorediatum. 

 The trees on which this plant grew are now destroyed.

linear, tapering and rounded at each extremity, 

 7-septate, pale-yellow. Plate III. fig. 1.
