The distinguishing- characteristics of this species are so 

 constant, that I can entertain no doubt of its specific dif- 

 ference from the former. It is larger in all its parts, and 

 of a yellowish green color, tinged with brown ; almost 

 always found on rocks; the branches are very often tri- 

 pinnate, almost at right angles, and not so much inclined 

 to curl upwards ; towards the ends, they arc always iu- 

 crassate and fornicate. The Leaves almost quadrate, 

 with their margins inllexed in a dry state. The ternate 

 STTPTTLAE are nearly equal and obliquely imbricate, con 

 cave when dry. with the margins bent in. The C alv\ is 

 large, somewhat bullate, trifid, the Iaeiniac ovate entire, 

 or with few teeth. The SETA nfuch longer than in the 

 former. 



This is frequent here, and has been sent to me besides 

 from New- York by Dr. Torrey.
