and partly imbricate.—Parmelia czsia var. teretiuscula Ach.

Distinguished only by the characters of the lacinix ; intermediate

only in W. Englandiand §.W. Ireland.—B. M. Penzance, Cornwall ; 
Malvern, Worcestershire ; Dunkerron, Kerry. 
13. Ph. eleina A. L. Sm.—Thallus rather small, thin, 
orbicular, of narrow imbricate-stellate laciniz, multifid at the 
circumference, dull greenish-grey, closely adhering to the sub- 
stratum, frequently breaking up in the older parts and becoming 
roughened or leprose or sorediate; beneath light-coloured or 
brownish, attached by few delicate rhizine (K—). Apothecia 
rather rare, small, the disc brownish-black, the margin entire, 
prominent; spores ellipsoid, 14-21 » long, 8-10 yp thick, or 
smaller.—Ph. adglutinata Nyl. in Flora xlv. p. 355 (1862);

The thallus is extremely thin, and is closely agglutinate to the 
support. The lower cortex is formed of a narrow band of hyphie 
parallel to the long axis from which hyphe singly, or in rhizinose 
strands, pass out and attach it to the bark. Crombie draws attention 
to the unusual spermogones which are olive-brown with acicular 
spermatia, about 18 » long, and searcely 1 p» thick. 
Hab, On the trunks of trees, rarely on walls in maritime and 
inland districts. —Distr. Probably not uncommon in England and 
W. Ireland, rare injthe Channel Islands ; not recorded from Scotland.
