Species of the Cladoniei by the action of Hydrate of Potash. 407 



Wright, Cuba, 33 ; Wei. Cr. Lus. 26 ; Massal. It. 191, 196 ; 

 Dietrich, Lich. 



This I have also from Bagni di Lucca (Dr. Deakin) ; Blae- 

 berry Hill, Perth (Dr. W. L. Lindsay), and from Barmouth, 

 North Wales ; also from Untersontheim (Kemler), Basingstoke, 

 Kent, and VVinchfield, Hants (Mr. 11. S. Hill). 



Distinguished from fur cat a (K— ) by the reaction (K + ). 



Dr. Nylander communicates {in litt.) the following notes of 

 reaction in specimens in the herbarium of Delise, which are 

 referable here : — C. racemosa, Del., K+ (this Dr. Nylander con- 

 siders to be a C.pungens validior, and not belonging to the true 

 racemosa). C. racemosa, var. rangifera, Del., represents two 

 species, — (1) pungens major spermogonifera (K + ) ; (2) corym- 

 bosa (K— ). C. racemosa var. macropoda, Del., has K + . 



Fries, L. S. 318, " C.pungens," has K-f . 



Y&r.foliosa, Flk. = Coera. 1036; Coem. CI. Belg. 181, 183. 



I possess this in addition from Leicestershire (Rev. A.Bloxam), 

 Launceston (Sir W. J. Hooker), Hampshire (Mr. R. S. Hill), 

 and from Algeria (Mr. G. Bentham), Salzburg (Dr. Schwai'tz). 



Var. coralloidea (Ach.) = C. muricata, Del. (Nyl. Syn. i. 207). 

 Dr. Nylander {in litt.) says that muricata, Del. herb., has K + , 

 and is identical with coralloidea, Ach. 



9. C. corymbescens, Nyl. (Nov. Caled. p. 40). This, Dr. Ny- 

 lander says {in litt.), has the reaction K+ very distinct, and is 

 much nearer to C. pungens than to C. degenerans. 



10. C. diplotypa, Nyl. in Flora, 1862, p. 475. This has a beau- 

 tiful reaction (K + ), and, according to Dr. Nylander {in litt.), is 

 near to Cfurcata in appearance, but altogether distinct. 



11. C. delicata, Flk. (E. Bot. t. 2052) = Schser. L. H. 75 ; M. 

 &N. 753; Nyl. L. P. 14; Hepp. 112; Tuck. 29; Mass. 217, 

 292 b; Spruce, L. Pyren.; Anzi, C. C. 21 d; Coem. CI. Belg. 

 106, 107; Mudd, L. Br. 15, Br. Clad. 43; Leight. 382. 



The reaction (K + ) distinguishes this from ccespiticia, Flk. 

 (K — ), from squamosa, Hoffm. (K— ), and from pyxidata, var. 

 pityrea (Ach.) (K— ). 



I possess specimens also from Smolandia, FerasjQ (Dr. T. M. 

 Fries), Germany (C. Fuisting), and from Oswestry (Rev. T. 

 Salwey), Bagot's Park, Staffordshire (Rev. A. Bloxam), Cold 

 Weston, Shropshire, and Aymestry, Herefordshire. 



Var. suhsquamosa, Nyl. (E. Bot. t. 2362) = Schaer. L. H. 74 ; 

 Anzi, C. C. 21 B ; Bohl. Br. L. 16 ; Mudd, Br. L. 14, Br. 

 Clad. 41 (part.) ; Leight. 405. 



In my herbarium are also specimens from Tatra, Hungary 

 (Dr. Harslingsky), Stogdale, High Cliff, Cleveland, Yorkshire 

 (Mr. Mudd), Bolsley, near Thirsk (Mr. J. G. Baker), Leicester- 

 shire (Rev. A. Bloxam), Northern Island, Australasia (Dr. J. D. 

 Hooker).
