54 LICHENES OF THE NORTHERN STATES 



similar places, fertile; and abundant also in mountainous districts; — 

 y, alpine and subalpine regions ; New England. New York, Halsey. 

 Pennsylvania (a and /J), Muhl. Canada {^),^Michaux. 



21. C Boryi, Tuckerm. Th. (crustaceous) evanescent; podetia 

 turgid, fruticulose, dichotomous, fastigiate-ramose, rugulose becoming 

 reticulate-perforate, pale sulphureous and glaucescent ; axils scyphi- 

 form, entire, at length cribrose-perfprate ; sterile apices scyphiform, 

 cristate-dentate, entire becoming cribrose, with fuscous tips ; fertile 

 ones somewhat cyijffcse-radiate ; apoth. flesh-colored, at length dark- 

 fuscous. C uncialis, var. reticulata, Russell, in Essex Jour. Nat. Hist.

On the earth, near the sea, fertile ; Hingham, Duxbury, Mr. Russell! 

 and elsewhq^ e on the coast of Massachusetts, Dr. Porter ! Mr. Oakes ! 

 — /J, alpine and montane districts, infertile ; White Mountains. Mo- 

 nadnoc, BMSseZZ.' Newfoundland, 5or!/ .' I have endeavoured to point 

 out the features that seem to distinguish this remarkable Lichen from 

 C. uncialis, but it is possible that the conclusion of its original indica- 

 tor may be correct. The podetia become very turgid, and at length 

 often explanate, measuring in one of my specimens eight lines in di- 

 ameter at the base, and five where the branches begin. The Nevr- 

 foundland specimen, and our alpine ones, belong to an apparently 

 sterile, subalpine state of the Lichen. 



Series 4. CoccifercB, Fr. Podetia greenish, becoming fulves- 



cent at the base. Apothecia scarlet. 



* Podetia cartilagineous-corticate, never finely pulverulent. 



22. C. cornucopioides,Fr. Th. squamulose ; podetia cartilagineous- 

 corticate, from glabrous becoming verrucose or granulate-subpulveru- 

 lent, yellowish, at length cinereous-green ; the scyphiferous ones elon- 

 gated-turbinate, attenuate below ; scyphi cyathiform, dilated ; apoth. 

 scarlet. Fr. Lichenogr. p. 236. Lichen cornucopioides, L. Fl. Suec.

On the earth. Very frequent in mountainous districts, but often in- 

 fertile ; New England. New York, Torrey. Pennsylvania, Muhl.
