Lecanora (Aspicilia) Lilliei B. de Lesd. in Bull. Soc. Bot. 

 France, liii p. 515 (1906). — Thallus tartareous, about 0-5 mm. 

 thick, cracked-areolate, white, yellow within (K — , CaCl — ). 

 Apothecia minute, black, immersed in the areolse, rounded- 

 difform, or lirellseform ; epitheoium olivaceous, hypothecium 

 colourless ; paraphyses gelatinous-concrete ; asci narrowly clavate ; 

 spore 4-6nae, ellipsoid, 0,013-15 mm. long, 0,005-6 mm. thick; 

 hymenial gelatine deep blue with iodine. Specimen not seen. 



Outwardly like Lecanora cinerea, but differing in the yellow colour 

 of the interior of the thallus and in the smaller spores.

 D. LiUie.) 



Part ii. p. 218, after A. lapidicola. 



Arthonia Lilliei B. de Lesd. in Bull. Soc. Bot. France, Ivii. 

 p. 34 (1910). — Thallus blackish, leprose, scanty. Apothecia 

 black, minute, about O'l— 0-2 mm. in diameter, round, plane ; 

 epithecium olivaceous, hymenium colourless or faintly brownish, 

 hjpothecium colourless; paraphyses concrete, free and capitate 

 at the tips ; asci ventricose ; spores Snse, colourless, oblong or 

 ellipsoid, 1-septate, the two cells equal, scarcely constricted, 

 0,010-12 mm. long, 0,004-5 mm. thick; hymenial gelatine wine- 

 red with iodine. Specimen not seen. 



Bah. On siliceous rocks, Achastle, Caithness. (Collected by 

 D. LiUie.) 



The position of the following species is uncertain : — 



Botrydina vulgaris Breb. ex Meneghini in Mem. R. Accad. 

 Sci. Torino, ser. 2, v. p. 98 (1842) ; emend. Acton in Ann. Bot. 

 xxui. p. 579 (1909). — Thallus forming small green spherical 

 mucilaginous bodies 0,020-300 mm. in diameter, rarely larger, 

 with a central mass of green algal cells {Coccomyxa suhellipsoidea 

 Acton, tom. cit. p. 573) and a pseudo-parenchymatous envelope of 

 fungal cells which proliferate inwardly among the alg%. Fruit 

 not developed. Specimen not seen. 



Considered by E. Acton to be a primitive lichen distinguished 

 from mere soredia by the structure of the fungal envelope. The 

 fungus, when grown in a separate culture, developed coiled branches 

 which suggested af&nities with the Belicosporem. 



Hah. Among bryophytes on rocks or on the ground, in damp 

 shady situations, chiefly in mountainous districts.
