History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
2326. Lichina. So called in allusion to its supposed convertibility into some one of the Lichen tribe. 
Sir 
James Smith has made one species a Lichen and the other a Fucus. 
2327. Furcellaria. Named on account of the dichotomous forked or furcellate arrangement of the fronds. 
2328. Fucus. So called by the Greeks. In Latin, the word signifies paint of any kind; a pigment staining 
red is afforded by certain species of Fucus. Fucus vesiculosus is much employed in the manufacture of kelp. 
It is common in great variety upon all the sea-coasts of these islands. It is known at first sight by its spherical 
vesicles filled with air. When the plant is dried, it becomes brittle, and of a dull black color, and sometimes 
it is covered with a saline efflorescence. Medically it is considered deobstruent, and has been found efficacious 
in scrofulous swellings. [Thorn, Land. Disp. 308.)
