CRYPTOG AMI A . A LG/E. Lichen, 
45 
Smith in contradistinction to L. farinaceus states this plant to be less soft 
and flexible, more yellowish, though sometimes becoming ash-coloured ; 
branches broader, and though pitted, their surface smooth, almost shin¬ 
ing, and always destitute of the powdery warts or cracks, so conspicu¬ 
ous in L. farinaceus. Shields copiously produced, each on a broad base, 
lateral, or most frequently nearly terminal, the pointed summit of the 
branch beyond them being more or less reflexed; when young they are 
concave, glaucous white, with a smooth acute margin; when older flat 
or convex, and pale buff. E. Bot. E.)

Var. 2. Tubercles hemispherical. 
Plant simple greenish yellow white; solid, smooth; one or one-half inch high. 
Tubercles yellow white; white within; terminating, though there is 
often a small branch sent out from the base of the tubercle, in nearly an 
horizontal direction. The plant though smooth to the touch is not with¬ 
out some minute rising eminences. On a high common at the Land's 
End, Cornwall. May. 
L. (trape'ziformis. E.) Tubercles blackish, like dots in the substance 
of the plant, at length rising to the surface: leaf dark green, 
thickish, minute; the angles rounded.

L. croca'tus. Saucers brown black, border like the leaf: foliage red¬

rounded, pitted.

Foliage yellow and powdery at the edge. Linn. Leaf somewhat leathery, 
flat, somewhat wrinkled, divided into large segments, of different shades 
of yellow green, olive and reddish, within always bright yellow, of the 
same colour underneath, but covered with a blackish wool, with yellow 
dots interspersed. Yellow balls disposed along the edge and often over the 
whole surface in a chain-like or net-like manner. Saucers few, the border 
thick, formed by a swelling of the leaf. Dicks.

L. prunas'tri. Saucers brown, white on the outside, on pedicles: 
foliage nearly white, quite white and cottony underneath; pitted, 
rather upright.

Leaves white; warts mealy. • Saucers large, (white on the outside, red 
brown within, E.) on foot-stalks, on the edges of the leaves. Mr. Relhan : 
who is now satisfied that his L. corniculatus is the same as the L. prunastri 
of Linmeus. From one to three inches long, sometimes mealy, sometimes 
not; leaves and segments broad, flat, like stags’ horns, pale bluish grey, 
hoary, or woolly underneath, by which and by its softness it is readily dis¬ 
tinguishable from every other species. Saucers on plants which are shorter
