Mycologia 



Stizenberger did not report his synonymous prolixa from our 

 area, attributing it only to Greenland. 



I am listing after this species, plants that seem to me trans- 

 itional examples, though they for the most part more nearly ap- 

 proach the variety implexa. The locations given indicate a some- 

 what local region of our area, where such specimens are evidently 

 most likely to be found. This area it will be noted, more or less 

 coincides with that of heavy rainfall.* 



Note: Alectoria jubata stricta Ach. (Lich. Univ. 592. 1810). 

 Distributed by Prof. John Macoun from Colquitz river, Victoria, 

 British Columbia. The material is inseparable from the var. 

 implexa, and Acharius' variety has not been to my knowledge 

 recognized in recent years. The original description is as fol- 

 lows : No type locality was cited, " lorulis ramulisque pendulis 

 coarctatis rigidiusculis strictis nigris."
