1 he crull is farinaceous or oranuhited, like tht

Orange Lichen. A::glis. 



Upon the bark of oa!<s, and other trees, and 

 fometimes upon rocks. 



The crurt, when it grows on bark, is whitilh afh- 

 coloui'd, when on rocks darker afh-colour'd. 

 The fru6tiftcations are numerous fmall fhields, 

 of an orange colour, with margins of the fame 

 colour. The margins of the larger and full- 

 grown fliields are curled or undulated. It is 

 ftrange that Dilknius f.iculd not have dcfcrib'd 

 this I'pecics, as we oblerv'd fpecimens of it 

 umongft hiscolledion huddled together with the 

 L. Jubfufcus, from which none can be more dil- 

 tintt. Mickeli feems to have mentioned it un- 

 der the name of Lichen crujlaceous^ arhorihus ad- 

 nafcens^ ex albo fubcifiereiis, receptaciiHsJiorumau- 

 reis nudis. Gen. pi. />, 98. No. 33. 



We lliould think it tlie fame with Hudfoti's L.Jla- 

 vorubefcens^ l>ut the frudifications are properly 

 jfliields and not tubercles.
