Geog. Disteib :— Sweden, Germany, Italy. 



Bot. Peov:— 7...15...26. 



Scotland : — Kincardine. Rev. J. M. Cronibie. 



Wales :— Moel-y-Golfa ! Montgomeryshire. (1864.) Pen-maen-Mawr ! Car- 

 narvonshire. Cwm Cywion ! Cwm Bochlwyd ! 



Ibeland : — Kylemore Castle ! Mr. Lwrbalestier. 



Like L. fusco-atra var. grisella, but distinguished by different reaction, which 

 also separates it from L. tesseUccta, in which also the areolee are convex. Spores 

 .012 mm. long, .0065 mm. broad. 



147. L.contiguella, Nyl. whitish,thm, areolato-rimose, surrounded, 

 at the circumference by a black hypothallus, (K — ) ; apothecia black, 

 adnate, plane, margined, concolorous within ; hypoihecium brown ; 

 spores 8, colourless, oblong, simple ; epithecium dark-bluish ; para- 

 physes moderate; gelatina hymenea I. bluish, then vinous- 

 reddish. 



On quartzose boulders, rare. 1872. 



Stn :— Nyl. in Flora 1873. p. 289—300. 

 Bot. Peov :— 15. 



Scotland : — Morrone, Braemar. Rev. J. M. Cronibie. (1872.) 

 "Differs as above from L. lactea, Flk. Spores .011 — 15 mm. long, .0045 — 55 

 mm. broad." (Nyl.) 



148. L. scutulata, Strn. pale-cervino-rufescent, thinnish, areolato- 

 diffract, areolce plane or somewhat convex, (K — C — ) ; apothecia 

 fusco-nigricant or black, rather large, innate, or sometimes slightly 

 emersed and elevate, margin thin ; hypoihecium thick, fuscous- 

 black ; epithecium concave; spores 8, colourless, ellipsoid, simple, 

 large ; paraphyses slender, apices fuscescent ; gelatina hymenea 

 I. ooerulescent, then the middle of the hymenium vinoso-fulvescent, 

 the upper portion remaining cserulescent. 



On alpine rocks, rare. 1874. 



Stn :— Stirton in Grevillea 3. p. 34. (1874.) 



Scotland :— Ben Lawers. Dr. Stirton. (1874.) 



" Closely allied to L. pcmceola, (Ach.), but with different reaction and without 

 the characteristic reddish cephalodia. Spores .024 — .032 mm. long, .012— .015 

 mm. broad." (SPrtn.) 



149. L. corollidia, Strtn. pale or pallido-cinereous, somewhat 

 thick, diffracto-areolate, somewhat plane, (K yellow then red) ; 

 apothecia black, adnate, large, plane, rugose, sometimes ccesio-pruinose, 

 margin obtuse, flexuose or sinuose; spores 8, colourless, ellipsoid, 

 simple ; paraphyses pellucid, indistinct, apices fuscescent ; hypothe- 

 cium thick, fuscous-black ; gelatina hymenea I intense-blue. 



On rocks, rare. 1875. 



Stn :— Stirton in Trans. Glasgow Soc. Nat. p. 88. (1875.) 



Bot. Peov :— 17. 



Scotland :— Thurso, Caithness. Dr. Stirton. (1875). 



"Spores .015 — .02 mm. long, .008— .011 mm. broad. Beautiful acicular 

 crystals .018 — .024 mm. long, .002 mm. broad, are formed by the action of K on 

 the thallus and subhy meueal spaces. At first a clear solution of a yellow colour 

 appears and thereafter stellate groups of these reddish crystals. Perhaps a 

 form of L. Moorecma." (Strtn. ) 



******* Thallus continuous, rimulose, plane. 

 t Hypoihecium pale. 



150. L. Taylori, (Salw.) creamy or brownish-white, tartareous, 

 thickish, effuse, smooth, rimuloso^difract, (K deep yellow C — ) ;
