ADDITIONS TO THE BRITISH RAM A LI BEL 
By the Rev. J. M. Crombie, F.L.S. 
Since my “ Notes on the British Ramalinei in Herb. Brit. Mus., 
in “ Journ. Bot.,” 1872, pp. 70-5, several interesting species and 
varieties have been detected in different parts of the country, 
which I here enumerate. At the same time one or two corrections 
require to be made on those there recorded, and subsequently 
described in Leighton’s “ Lich. FI. Suppl.,” pp. 470-7. 
1. R. farinacea f. phalerata. Ach. 
Probably not un frequent in S. England, though we have seen it 
only from Stowe Park, Buckingham. Sterile. 
2. R. fraxinea var. ampliata f. monophylla. Crornb. 
Thallus simple, very broad, oblongo -rotundate, subreticulately 
costato-rugose. 
On old trunks. New Forest. Fertile. 
Analagous to f. monophylla , Cromb., of R. evernioides. 
3. R. fastigiata f. minutula. (Ach.) 
On old fir pales. Sterile. Probably not rare, as in the New 
Forest and various parts of Scotland. 
This was referred by Acharius to R. farinacea , but more cor- 
rectly by Fries fib, in “ Lich. Scand.,” I., p. 37, to R. fastigiata. 
It is mentioned in my “ Not. Brit. Ram.,” p. 7, as a caespitose con- 
dition of R. calicaris. 
4. *R. capitata. Ach., Nyl. 
On mountain rocks. Very rare. Teesdale, Durham ; Ben- 
nahoord, Braemar. 
I may here mention that true R. polymorpha is an extremely 
rare British plant, as also its var. emplecta , Ach. 
5. R. scopulorum f. incrassata. Nyl. 
On maritime rocks. Jersey and Cornwall. Probably frequent 
on the rocky coasts of Britain. 
6. R. cuspidata f. crassa. (Del.) 
On maritime rocks. Jersey, Cornwall, and Portlethen, Kincar- 
dineshire. 
F. minor, Nyl., North Wales and Coast of Kincardineshire. 
Probably common. 
7. # R. breviuscula. Nyl. 
On maritime and mountain rocks. S. and W. England, N.E. 
Scotland. 
This is R. polymorpha , “ Mudd. Man./’ p. 74,“ Cromb. Enum.,” 
p. 25, pro p., Leight. “Lich. FI.,” p. 92, It is also R. polymorpha f. 
depressa , Cromb., in “Journ. Bot.,” 1872, p. 72. 
F. gracilescens. Cromb. 
Thallus very small, pulvinato-congested, lacinise slender, the 
apices incurved or re volute. 
On maritime boulders. Apparently very rare in S. England.
