Well-marked fertile specimens. Seemingly rare in the southern hemisphere, but occurring in the Himalaya 
Mountains, as well as in Europe and North America.

l. Nephroma australe (A. Rich. Fl. N. Zeal. p. 31; Voy. de l'Astrol. pl. ix. f. 2; Bab. Le 
p. 271).—N. pallens ?, Nyl. Enum. Lich. p. 101.

Has. Rotten wood: Johnny's Creek, Oldfield. Cheshunt, on dead wood, Archer. Mount Wel- 
lington, Hooker and Gunn. 
The specimens (of a deep-brown colour) agree with one from Staten Land marked Nephroma cellulosum in 
Menzies” handwriting. N. plumbeum, Mont.! Fl. Fern. n. 7, seems to be the same plant, but somewhat paler, which 
has been found also by Gunn. Found in Chili, according to Nylander (who keeps N. plumbeum and N. cellulosum 
distinct), as well as in Juan Fernandez. —Pıare CXCIX. 4. Fig. 1, apothecium ; 2, under surface of ditto;

Has. Among Mosses, on wood, etc. Everywhere, all collectors. 
Fertile specimens are bright, and often much pitted, and, being destitute of the yellow soredia which are 
usually present on the barren fronds, wear a somewhat different appearance to the European state of the plant. 
3. Sticta Colensoi (Bab. l.c. t. 123). 
Haz. Very abundant in forests, on Fagus, Gunn, Hooker. 
Less divided than the New Zealand form. |

Has. On rocks: near the caves, Back River, Oldfield. Running over sticks among Mosses, Hooker. 
Some specimens are less distinctly flabelliform than the ordinary state of the plants; others, collected by Mr.
