NOMENCLATUEE, 



26. 



Besides liairs, there are many other inequalities and rough- 

 nesses of the surface, i 



Thus, the surface is said to be dotted (pu7ictatus) vAien 

 fine small hollows or glands are observable on it. But those 

 transparent points, which do not form any peculiar hollows 

 on the surface, commonly receive the same appellation. 



When the surface is beset with such small inequalities, as 

 can only be distinguished by the touch, and not by the na- 

 ked eye, it is said to be scabrous (scabe?-). Scaberrimus cor- 

 responds with the next definition. In the lichens, a surface 

 is said to be leprosus when it is scabrous, somewhat rent, 

 scaly, but also uniform. 



Rough (asper) is the attribute of a surface when its inequa- 

 lities can be distinctly seen. Commonly they pass into short, 

 stiff" hairs, and asperrimus is hence the same with liispidus. 



Short herbaceous spines make the surface muricated {mu- 

 ricatusj. 



Stiff points, lastly, form the prickly (echinatus) surface. 



Small, solid, visible inequalities make the surface granula- 

 ted {granulatus) ; and when the inequalities are larger, the 

 surface becomes warty {verrucosus and papillosus). When 

 the warts are evidently filled with air or water, the surface is 

 called pustular {papulosus). When they are very hard and . 

 white, the surface is said to be callous (callosus). A coarse 

 granular substance is called grumose (grumosa) : Xyloma, 

 stromaia Sphariarum variarum. 



If the warts are considerably larger, the surface is denomi- 

 nated hunched {iorosus, torulosus). 



When the inequalities proceed from successive risings and 

 depressions, the surface is said to be wrinkled {rugosus). A 

 considerable size in these risings makes the surface blistery 

 (buUatus). If the depressions are nearly parallel or streaked, 

 as we see them in the seed of the Annonea, they are called rzm- 

 cinate {runcinatus), (Tab. I. Fig. S4.) When the depres- 

 sions resemble small hollows, the surface receives different 

 names, according to the size and regularity of the hollows. 

 It is called porous {porosus) when the hollows are indistin-
