18b. Cladonia floridana f. esquamosa Robbins, Rhodora 

 29: 137, pi. 157 J. 4. Atlantic: Inskip (Blake, 1928, det. Rob- 

 bins). Burlington: New Gretna (Musch, 1928, det. Robbins) 

 and West Plains (Lutz, 1932, see 8, p. 12). The podetia are fer- 

 tile but without squamules. 



19.* Cladonia santensis Tuck. Am. Jour. Sci. II. 25: 

 427. 1858. Ocean: Dover Forge (Dillman, 1934), Lakehurst 

 (Torrey, 1934), near Laurelton (Torrey, 1934), and near Whit- 

 ings (Torrey, 1933, determination verified by Sandstede). The 

 type-material of C. santensis was collected by H. W. Ravenel 

 at Santee Canal, South Carolina, and the species has been found 

 also in Florida by Rapp. Its discovery in New Jersey represents 

 a marked extension of its known range to the northward. The 

 species agrees with C. floridana in giving a vivid yellow color 

 with KOH but shows distinctive features, not only in the pri- 

 mary thallus, but also in the podetia. These features are clearly 

 brought out in the description by Robbins (10, p. 136). As shown 

 by this account the primary squamules of C. santensis are "lacic- 

 iate to dentate-crenate" and the cortex of the podetia is "glo- 

 bose-areolate." In C. floridana, on the other hand, the primary 

 squamules are "subentire or dentate to sublobate," and the 

 cortex of the podetia is "smooth, subrugose or slightly cracked." 



20. Cladonia squamosa (Scop.) Hoffm. (4, p. 432). On 

 earth in open woods, on logs, and on thin soil over rocks. In 

 Austin's list (2, p. 164) C. squamosa and the varieties delicata 

 and caespiticia are recorded from Closter. In Eckfeldt's list (3, 

 p. 373) the varieties are rightfully given specific rank and are 

 recorded from the Pine Barrens, as well as from Bergen County. 

 The specimens here listed under the species are not definite as 

 to form. Bergen: Closter (Austin, 1864, F., see 20, p. 246). 

 Burlington: Speedwell (1932). Morris: Green Pond Moun- 

 tain (Dillman, 1934). Ocean: Bamber Lake (Dillman, 1934), 

 Double Trouble (1932), Hornerstown (Torrey, 1933), Laurelton 

 (Torrey, 1934), and near Whitings (Torrey, 1933). Passaic: 

 Green Pond (Bow en, 1933, listed by Torrey, 18, p. 126, as C. 

 turgida f. scyphifera) and near Hewitt (Dillman, 1934). Sussex: 

 Wawayanda Mountain (Torrey, 1933). Warren: Kittatiny 

 Mountain (Torrey, 1933).
