J. A. MARTINDALE: THE LICHENS OF WESTMORELAND. 323 



Tribe II. SPHJiROPHOREI Nyl. 

 XVI. SPHALR OPHOR ON, Pers. 



48. Sphaerophoron coralloides Pers.; Nyl., Syn., p. 171, tab. v, 



fig. 46 ; Leighton, Lich. Flora, p. 48. 



On rocks and among mosses. Staveley, Kentmere, Trout- 

 beck, Patterdale, Grisedale, Mardale, and elsewhere. In great 

 abundance on Stybarrow Crag, at the head of Ulleswater. 



49. Sphaerophoron fragile (L.), Nyl., Syn., p. 172, tab. v, fig. 45 ; 



Leighton, Lich. Flora, p. 49. 



More generally distributed and commoner even than the 

 preceding species. 



Tribe III. B/EOMYCEI Nyl. 

 XVII. BMOMYCES Pers. 



50. Baeomyces rufus (Huds., Flora Anglica, p. 527); Nyl., Syn., 



p. 176, tab. i, fig. 12, tab. vi, fig. 12-14; Leighton, Lich. Flora, 

 p. 50. 



Common on stones and earth. Staveley, Kentmere, Mar- 

 dale, Lowther Park, and elsewhere. 



51. Baeomyces roseus Pers.; Nyl., Syn., p. 179, tab. vi, fig. 15-21 ; 



Leighton, Lich. Flora, p. 51. 



Gathered once in fruit on the hills south of Bowness. 

 A sterile thallus, which seems to be the same as one kindly 

 sent me by Dr. Arnold, of Munich, as Bceomyces rufus 

 f. coccodes Fries., Sched., p. 15 ; Scand., p. 329, is common 

 on the Lake District hills. 



52. Baeomyces placophyllus Ach., Meth., p. 323, tab. vii, fig. 4; 



Nyl., Syn., p. 180; Leighton, Lich. Flora, p. 51. 



In the higher parts of most of the valleys of the Cumbrian 

 group, as in Kentmere, Mardale, Patterdale, and Langdale, 

 but only seen once in fruit, and that immature. 

 [Baeomyces icmadophilus (Ehrh.) will no doubt be found in 

 Westmoreland, at all events along the eastern hills. I have 

 gathered it on these hills, but on the Yorkshire side of the 

 dividing line.]

53. Pilophoron fibula Tuck.; Nyl., Syn., p. 229; tab. vii, fig. 6;

 a large rock in Great Langdale.
