Ephebe (Fries). 

 No. 343. — Ephebe pubescens (Fr.). Dublin mountains. T. J. 



The fruit of this plant was first noticed in 

 Ireland by Mr. Archer, who gave me spe- 

 cimens for examination. So long as there 

 is a superabundant supply of moisture, 

 the plant does not fruit. Search a slop- 

 ing rock which dries quickly after every 

 shower, and you will find the fruit. I 

 have so arranged the specimen, that 

 without moistening it, the plant and the 

 exterior of both forms of the fruit may 

 be seen with the pocket lens. 



Eveenia (Ach.).

 Geaphis (Ach.).

This is not the pulverulent form, No. 10 

 of Carroll's Lichens; there is also a 

 slight difference in the arrangement of 

 the apothecia (Lirellae), but internally 

 the plants correspond. The spore is 

 several-septate and muriform, - 00165" 

 by "0006". Nylander,* says G. anguina 

 (Mont.) and G. scripta (Ach.) differ only 

 by the form of their spores. Iodine, 

 however, exhibits another striking dif- 

 ference. Treated with iodine, the spores, 

 in all the forms of G. anguina I have 

 examined, become dark indigo-blue, 

 whilst the hymenium gelatine is little, 

 if at all, affected.
