of J ersey. Near Brockenhurst, New Forest, Hampshire.

none proper. Apothecia minute, very shortly stipitate or subsessile, 
the stipes slender, pale; capitulum turbinato-globose, black or 
blackish, somewhat shining; spores simple, globulose, dark-brown, 
0,004—-6 mm. in diameter ; hymenial gelatine pale bluish and then 
sordid with iodine.—Calicium Kylemoriense Larb. ex Leight. Linn. 
Trans. n. ser. Bot. 1878, p. 242, t, 23. ff. 12-14; Lich. Fl. ed. 8, 
p. 42. 
This “very beautiful new species” (Leight.) is intimately allied to 
S. turbinata, from which it differs merely in the paler (though often con- 
colorous) stipes, the smaller capitulum and spores, as also in the saxi- 
colous habitat. It is probably not a distinct species. 
Hab. On rocks in maritime tracts. Parasitic on the thalli of Lecanora 
parella and L. nitens.—Distr. Local and rare, in the Channel Islands and 
in N.W. Ireland.—B. M.: Island of Sark. Kylemore, co, Galway. 
21. CALICIUM Pers. Ust. Ann. Bot. vii. (1794) p. 20; Nyl. 
Syn. i. p. 145.—Thallus thin, granulose, pulverulent or evanescent, 
very rarely squamulose, or none proper. Apothecia stipitate, rarely 
subsessile, black; capitulum globose or turbinate; theca evanescent; 
sporal mass umbrine or black ; spores spherical, ellipsoid or oblong, 
simple or septate, brown or blackish; hymenial gelatine rarely 
tinged with iodine. Spermogones with short, oblong spermatia. 
The species of this genus are very rarely parasitic, and by this, as well 
as by the stipitate apothecia, the genus is distinguished from Sphinctrina. 
For the most part the plants spread extensively over the substratum, 
though the thallus often becomes evanescent. It is divided into two 
subgenera, founded on the character of the gonidia.
