27 2 OF TREES AND PLANTS. 



Tliis fpecies is always of a fmooth fhining completion, which 

 is a difti notion reckoned peculiar to it. 



29. The final!, rattle-leaved Trumpet-Cup-Mofs (b), is frequent in. 

 dry barren places upon heaths, alfo on old walls topped with 

 earth under trees, and about rocks. It is an elegant little plant, 

 of a trumpet-like form. The cups change to flender filiform pedi- 

 cles to fuftain the fructifications, which are in the ihape of mi- 

 nute fcarlet tubercles. It is very rare to find it in this ftate. I 

 met with it on the rocks by O^-lake. 



30. TheJIender indented Cup-Mofs (c) is not unfrequent with the 

 former, and the Chalice-MoJs (d). It is fometimes proliferous to 

 the third degree, in which ftate it is very beautiful.
