Note of a Lichen new to the Border Flora. By Archd. 

 Jerdon. 



In the spring of this year (1872) I observed a quantity of 

 Squamaria gelida growing on some heaps of stones by the 

 side of an old, disused road, near Glenburnhall, about half- 

 a-mile from the town of Jedburgh. This Lichen is generally 

 found on Alpine (or sub-Alpine) rocks, and it is curious to 

 find it in the above locality. It is a pretty species, the rose- 

 coloured apothecia contrasting well with the pale brownish 

 white thallus. A good deal of what I saw was barren, but 

 but there were several patches in good fruit.
