liaceus, Huds. — Mossy rocks, Manchester, and 
elsewhere.  *'Senescens lichen," says Acharius, 
“ omnino mutatur. Thallus fere evanescit et pro- 
lificatione scyphorum atque podetiorum sub nova 
forma exsurgit; quam distinguere debui, ne con- 
fundatur cum speciebus sectionis subsequentis s. Cla- 
doniis proprie sic dictis." In this state, the lichen 
has all the appearance of the subulate-branched Cla- 
doniz, the section which includes C. rangiferina, and 
the species allied to it. ` It occurs also at Manchester 
with the podetia very leafy, constituting the variety 
phyllophora of authors. There is a good figure .of 
this in Vaillant (Bot. Par. t. 21, f. 3; cit. Ach.).

tata, Ach. Syn., Bæomyces digitatus, Ach. Meth. — 
Subalpine regionsof thè White Mountains. The de- 
scriptions of some of the books do not well accòrd 
with this form of C. digitata ; though an examination 
of Schærer’s specimens has led me to refer it, without 
doubt, to that species. ' It appears to be very near the 
variety named brachytes by Acharius. Lobes ofthe ` 
thallus very ample, larger than in any other of our 
cup-bearing Cladoniz, of a fine green above, and be- 
neath yellow at the base, becoming white at the 
margins. "The podetia small, in comparison with the 
size of the lobes of the thallus, and the scarlet joies! 
lodia very minute. New to our Flora.
