It grows Icinctimes upon trees, but more fre- 

 quently upon rocks, efpecially on the fea-coafts, 

 but not very common. 



This is fmooth, glolTy, and whitifii, more pitted 

 and channel'd, and much mxore ftiff and rigid 

 than the foregoing-, but what more particularly 

 diftinguiflics it from the preceding is, that it 

 produces flat or convex fliieids, ot the fame co- 

 lour as the leaves, very near the fummits of the 

 ferments, which are acute and rigid, and being 

 ohen reflecled from the perpendicular by the 

 growth of the ihields, appear from under their 

 rims, like a hooked beak. 



If this be a variety of the preceding it mud b« 

 the W6>.le, according to Linn.^u5, but the female 

 according to BilhrJus. 



It will dye a red colour, and promlfes, in that in- 

 tention, to rival the famous L. Roccella, or Ar- 

 goh v/hich is brought from the Canary iflands, 

 and fometimes fold at the price of 80/. fterling 

 per ton. It was formerly ufed inftead of ftarch 

 to make hair-powder.
