30. Cladonia chlorophaea (Floerke) Spreng. (4, p. 465). 

 On earth in fields and open woods. The sorediose forms which 

 used to be included under C. pyxidata are now referred by Sand- 

 stede to two closely related species, C. chlorophaea and C. Grayi, 

 and the writer has pointed out the difficulty of distinguishing 

 between them (5, p. 160). Torrey's conception of C. chlorophaea 

 (17, p. 50; 18, p. 128) includes both species; but the two are 

 kept apart, at least provisionally, in the present paper. The 

 records for these two species (with two exceptions) are based on 

 Sandstede's determinations. The New Jersey specimens in the 

 Tuckerman Herbarium are not included, since these have not 

 been re-examined. Only one of these, however, the specimen 

 from Closter, is assigned to a definite station; the others are 

 labeled simply "New Jersey." Sandstede refers the following 

 specimens to C. chlorophaea: — Ocean: Double Trouble (1932), 

 Lahaway (Torrey, 1933), and Seaside Park (1932). These speci- 

 mens, in part, represent f. simplex (Hoffm.) Arn. (see 4, p. 468). 

 Torrey lists this form from Andover, Sussex County (17, p. 

 50) and, in addition, f. carpophora (Floerke) Anders and f. 

 pterygota (Floerke) Vainio (see 4, p. 470). 



30a.* Cladonia chlorophaea var. pachyphyllina (Wallr.) 

 Vainio (4, p. 472). Warren: Kittatiny Mountain {Torrey, 

 1933, det. Sandstede). 



31. Cladonia Grayi Merrill (5, p. 159). On earth in fields 

 and open woods. Burlington: New Gretna (Musch, 1928, det. 

 Robbins) and West Plains (Lutz, 1932, see 8, p. 13; Miss Ful- 

 ford, 1932; Evans, 1932). Monmouth: Navesink (Evans, 1934). 

 Ocean: Bamber Lake (Dillman, 1934), Double Trouble (1932), 

 Laurelton (Torrey, 1934), and New Egypt (1932). Passaic: West 

 Milford (Torrey, 1934). These records, with two exceptions, are 

 based on Sandstede's determinations. 



32. Cladonia fimbriata (L.) Fr. (4, p. 473). On earth in 

 woods or on banks. Austin records C. fimbriata and its var. ad- 

 spersa from Closter (2, p. 164), and Eckfeldt adds Camden 

 County as a station for the typical form of the species. The 

 older writers understood C. fimbriata in a very broad sense, and 

 several of the forms which they included under it are now 

 segregated out as distinct species. The New Jersey specimens 

 upon which Austin's and Eckfeldt's records were based are ref-
