Externally somewhat resembling some state of L. parasema var. latypea, 

 (K yellow C orange-reddish) but differing in chemical reaction and other 

 characters. Certainly not identical with L. mrticosa, (Flk.) as stated by T. M. 

 Pries L. Scand. p. 515. if that species be correctly represented by Anzi Langob. 

 353 and Babh. 771. Spores .011— .0125 mm. long, .0045-.005 mm. broad. 



85. L. rusticula, Nyl. albido-glaucescent, granulate, granules 

 sub-conglomerate, depresso-convex, sub-crenate, smooth, (K yellow, C 

 yellow) ; apothecia minute, somewhat concave, black, margin obtuse, 

 entire, eventually obliterated; hypothecium fuscous; spores 8, 

 colourless, ellipsoid, simple ; paraphyses indistinct ; gelatina 

 hymenea deep-blue, afterwards dirty-lutescent with iodine. 



On quartzose rocks, rare. 1866.

 mm. long, .0065 mm. broad. 



86. L. furvella, Nyl. nigro-fuscous, effuse, obliterato-squamu- 

 lose, granuloso-fur/uraceous, diffracto-areolate, (K — C red) ; apothecia 

 small, scattered, oppressed; plane, black, rugulose, margin thin, 

 smooth, flexuose ; epithecium nigricant ; hypothecium nigro-fuscous ;

"Spores .009— 011 mm. long, .0045 mm. broad." (Nyl.) " Spores .003 in, 

 long, by .001— .00125 in. broad." (Mudd). The thallns has a good deal the 

 appearance of that of Pannwria nigra, and is composed of minute sphaerical 

 brown granules containing gonidia, on a thickish-brown hypothallus. GeL hym. 

 I lutescent. Spores .016 mm. long, .009 mm. broad. 



87. L. furvula, NyL nigro-fuscous, effuse, obliterato-squamulose, 

 granulosofurfuraceous, continuous, (K — C red) ; apothecia scattered, 

 sessile, plane, black, margin thin, svh-flexuose ; epithecium cozrulescent ; 

 hypothecium black ; paraphyses indistinct ; spores 8, colourless, 

 oblong, simple.

"Spores 0.012-17 mm. long, 0.006— 8mm. broad." [Nyl.) Thallus similar in 

 structure to the preceding. Are not this and the preceding states only of one 

 and the same lichen? Gel. hym. I lutescent. Spores .012 — .014 mm. long, 

 .006 mm. broad. 



88. L. alpestris (Smmrf.) cinerascent, thin, granulate or granu- 

 lato-sub-areolate or sub-evanescent, hypothallus whitish, (K faint
