rather than be guided by any author, we have, 

 therefore, taken the liberty to alter, and, we

Obf. The L. velleus of Linnaus^ according to Dil- 

 lenius's Ipecimen, is totally different from the 

 Lici:en above defcribed, and is fuch as we be- 

 kevc was never yet found in Great-Britain. We

 recorded the L. velleus as an EugUflj plant, but 

 becaufe we have received fpecimens of that juft 

 now defcribed from our friends, under the name 

 of the L. velleus, of Linnaus. 



BiUemiis's fpecimen of the L. velleus is broader 

 than the palnn of a man's hand, very nearly as 

 thick as a bullock's hide, dellitute of marginal 

 fringe and male warts.
