A specie genuina differt thallo obscurius flavicante aut glaucescente, laciniis ultimis 
culatam Hook. et Tayl. usurpavisse. Sed aliunde ut hujus generis quæstiones tute diluceant, prin- 
cipalus descriptioni ab auctore facta dandus est, nam specimina in herbario facile mulautur, dum 
scripta mauent. Atqui descriptiones infra transcriptæ R. geniculatam Hook. et Tay. a R. inflata 
Hook. et Tayl. ramis ultimus non abrupte attenualis, non conicis, atque apotheciis planis differre 
clare ostendit : 
« Cetraria inflata n. sp. ; thallo in cæspitem orbicularem cougesto, palidissime flavo divari- 
cato-dichotomo, lobis fistulosis, intus stuppeis, foraminulosis, ultimis acuminalis, apotheciis 
terminalibus, substipitatis, concavis, disco concolore pruinoso, margine inflexoin tegerrimo. 
Hab. Lord Auckland’s group. 
Two inches high, sometimes stained with dark blood red ; apothecia at length flat ; the moistened 
thallus pellucid ; the ultimate divisions are disproportionately narrow. 
Ramalina geniculata n. sp.; thallo laxe cæspiloso albido-cinereo glabro dichotome ramo- 
sissimo, ramis intricatis, lobis linearibus, hinc concaviusculis acuminalis, gemmis dispersis 
granulatis stalim linearibus; apotheciis planis, concoloribus, margine tenui, integerrimo, subtus 
thalli laciniam emitteutibus. 
Hab. New Zealand. 
About two inches high. Branches sometimes perced with a series of minute holes. The apothecia 
are merely marginal or more commonly a new branche of the thallus is sent off from beneath 
each, as in Usnea Jamaicensis Ach., so that the apothecium appears siluated al the bending or knee 
of the fhallus ».
