Gaylussacia dumosa , Newfield, N. J. Gregarious sessile J mm. 
diarn. disk whitish, clothed outside with straight rigid, acute, con¬

part of the asci and apparently subfusoid, 3-septate and about

so that there remains some uncertainty as to the shape and size of 
the sporidia. it has the same habit as P. tautilla , Phill. & Hark.
