Ramalina complanata (Sw.) Ach. L. U. p. 559. 
Lichen complancitus Sowerby FI. Ind. occid. Ill, p. 1911, me. KHO — 
Examined in a specimen from Snake Key, Fla., collected by Mr. Baker 
and communicated by Mr. S. Rapp. Spores variously ellipsoid, straight, 
11-18 X 3-5 h- The laciniae papillate. 
Ramalina denticulata (Eschw. Brazil, p. 221, sub Parmelia) me. KHO-f-yel- 
low, at length red. 
Very similar to R. complanata but distinguished by its behavior with 
KHO, and curved spores 10-13 X 4.5-5 n in dimensions. Plant small, but 
the apothecia sometimes a centimeter in diameter. Collected in Jamaica by 
the late Miss Clara E. Cummings. 
Ramalina linearis (Sw.) Nyl. Mon. Ram. p. 31. 
Lichen linearis L. fil. et Sowerby Meth. Muse, illustr. p. 36. 
Forma spinulosa. Merrill, me. KHO — 
Thallus attaining to 13 cm. in length, compressed, narrowed, canaliculate, 
linear and accuminate, pale straw-colored, the secondary branches patent, as 
likewise the short filiform branchlets, with the major divisions present and 
clothed. Apothecia small, lateral, pedicellate, at length rather convex. . 
Spores ellipsoid, straight 13-17 X 7/*. Collected in Jamaica by the late Miss 
Clara E. Cummings. R. canaliculata Tayl. is 'with difficulty separable 
frorn this species. 
Ramalina alludens Nyl. Mon. Ram. p. 32. 
Distinguished from R. linearis of which Tuckerman in Syn. makes it a 
variety, by the distinctly narrow, slightly curved, fusiform spores 27-34 X 
3- 4//, No. 193 Pringle’s Mexican Lichens belongs here. 
Ramalina usneoides (Ach.) Fr. L. E. p. 468. 
Parmelia usneoides Ach. Meth. p. 270. 
Spores straight, fusiform, 23 X 3.5/4, No. 206 Pringle’s Mexican Lichens. 
Seems to be common in Mexico, and is a very handsome plant. 
Ramalina anceps Nyl. Syn. I, p. 290, me. KHO-}- yellow, at length red. 
Laciniae elongated, pendulous, slender, compressed, ancipital, sub- 
linear, smooth and somewhat shining, dichotomously divided throughout, 
the terminal branchlets attenuate and flexuous. Apothecia pallid, genicu- 
lately affixed. Spores ellipsoid or oblong-ellipsoid, straight, 12-18 X 5-8/4. 
Collected in Jamaica by the late Miss Clara E. Cummings. This species 
should be looked for in the southern States. 
Ramalina Yemensis (Ach.) Nyl. Mon. Ram. p. 46. 
Ramalina fraxinea var. Yemensis Ach. L. U. p. 602, me. KHO — 
This is R. laevigata Fr. of Tuckerman’s Syn. Spores straight, 10-14 X 
4- 5 — 5 / 4 , No. 81 D. N. A. Lich. from Austin, Texas, and No. 13 Pringle’s Mex- 
ican Lichens from Monterey, Mexico, typical ; No. 458 Plants of Mexico, col- 
lected by Dr. Palmer at Alvarez, State of San Luis Potosi, is in part forma 
sublinearis Nyl. l.c. p. 46, and appears to be an alpine state ; No, 244 Pringle’s 
Mexican Lichens is forma latior Nyl. Mon. Ram. p. 46, and has larger 
spores than the type.
