 other trees, common, hinnaus lays it is very 

 frequent on thx Juniper. 

 The only Lichens that have any refemblance with 

 this, are the L. candelarius, and tJie L. farini- 

 tjus, with the lall of which it fcems to have 

 been confounded by fome authors. The L. 

 tandelarius has either a flirinaceous or a wrinkled 

 cruft for its ground, according to its fex. The 

 L. parietinus is compofed of a thin cruft of clofe 

 imbricated leaves. This has lax elevated leaves., 

 of a grecnifh yellow colour, curled and lacini- 

 ated on the edges. The fliields are either of a 

 greenifh-yellow, or an olive colour. 

 The Gotland-Swedes dye their yarn of a yellow co- 

 lour with it, and give it as a fpecific in the 

 Jaundice.
