Geog. Distbib : — Prussia. 



Bot. Pkov:— 15. 



Scotland :— Summit of Ben Lawers ! plentiful, but sterile. Adm. Jones. 

 (1865). . . 



Crombie 1.0, remarks that " probably this species belangs to a distinct genus, 

 which may be named Lichinopsis, though as the fructification is at present 

 entirely unknown, it is best retained as constituting a separate section of 

 CoUema." 



** Spores simple. 



2. C. chalazanum, Ach, Hack, difformi-lobate or laciniate, 

 margins crenulato-granulate ; apothecia rufous, small, t/ialline 

 margin tumid ; spores 8, colourless, ellipsoid, simple ; paraphyses 

 slender ; gelatina hymenea vinous-red. with iodine ; spermatia 

 slender, obtuse at each apex. 



On sub-alpine calcareous rocks, rare. 1834.

" Spores .020—28 mm. long, .010—13 mm. broad." (Nyl.) 



3. G. chalazanodes, NyL, similar to G. chalazanun, Nyl., but 

 with much smaller often subglobose spores .012 — 17 mm. long, 

 .008 — .015 mm. broad. Thecae clavate. 



On rocks. 



Syn :— Nyl. in Flora. 1869, p. 293. 

 Geog. Distbib : — Norway. 



Crombie I.e. says " Intermediate, as it were, between the preceding and the 

 following species, with larger subglobose spores." 



4. G. myriococcum, (Ach.) black, difformi-lobate or laciniate, 

 crenulato-lobate ; apothecia rufous, small, thalline margin tumid ; 

 spores 8, colourless, sub-globose, simple, small

 Ablington, Barnsley Park, near CirenceBter. Gloucestershire, Mr Joshua. 



Crombie I.e. remarks, " this species is with difficulty to be distinguished from 

 the two preceding ones, and probably all three are referable to one and the same 

 variable species." 



" Spores .009—012 mm. diam." (Nyl) 



5. G. confertum, Ach nigricant, small, crowdedly and turgidly 

 squamvlose, squamules generally cyathoid or podetiiform, nearly 

 all fertile ; apothecia (one in each thalline squamula or lobe, 

 urceolate at the summit) subconcolorous, impressed, thalline 

 margin tumid ; spores 8, colourless, ellipsoid or fusiformi-ellip- 

 soid, simple ; paraphyses slender ; gelatina hymenea and especially
