Cladonia leporina Fr. No. 14; L. B. A. Auburn, Ala., is one of the few 
species remaining unmolested by lichenological reviewers. 
Cladonia uncialis (L.) Web. No. 271 L. B. A. Mt. Moosilauke, N. H.== 
Cladonia uncialis f. biuncialis (Hoffm.) Harmand in Cat. Lich. Lor- 
raine, p. 1 16. The perplexities of C. uncialis are in no degree 
cleared up by Wainio’s subdivisions. In his Schema Mon. Pt. Ill, 
he ignores C. ■ uncialis adunca , a long recognized form of the 
species, and it, with the plant illustrated by No. 271, is absolutely with- 
out place or name. Form biuncialis is representative of a maximum of 
development for the plant commonly recognized in this country as typi- 
cal C. uncialis , and the name in the writer's estimation may best 
stand as a convenient designation for indicating extent of develop- 
ment, in the same way that major , extensa , valida, grandis , etc., find 
a use in other Cladonia species. For the less developed exhibits of 
that uncialis type to which f. biu 7 icialis is referable, the designation 
humilior Fr. may well be employed. Wainio states that Lichen un- 
cialis L. is equivalent to C. uncialis Fr. This would be the var. a. Fries 
Li. Eur. Ref. and it comprehends v. adunca Ach., biuncialis Hoffm. and 
all the minor conditions of the two. Variety b. humilior Fr. is now 
known to be one of these minor states with affinity to biuncialis. It 
thus appears that no one of the sub-forms of C. uncialis may be defi- 
nitely established as a historical type for the species. K —

is by no means well characterized but has the dilated summits of the 
form.

(Russell) Wain. f. reticulata (Bor.) Wain. Wainio Pt. III. p. 234. Tuck- 
erman's name should be preserved for this plant for he was first to main- 
tain its specific identity. No. 65 is not var. b. lacunosa Bory of 
Tuckerman’s 1848 Synopsis, hence not form lacunosa (Bor.) Wain, of the 
Monograph. Rendering justice to all parties the name for the plant 
represented by No. 65 should stand as C. Boryi Tuck. f. reticulata

its referableness to racemosa Hoffm. Wainio unites under his v. race- 
mosa corymbosa all the fertile and some of the unievtWe furcata modifi- 
cations of Floerke and later authors. The f. corymbosa of Nylander’s 
recognition comprehends the stout rigid moderately fissured copiously 
fruited furcata that Floerke makes a sub-variety of hisv.^JJ^ under the-
