CRYPTOGAMIA. ALGiE. Lichen. 
L. sepin'cola. Saucers chesnut colour, mostly terminating: foliage 
brown chesnut; leaves tiled, smooth, jagged, ascending. 
Hoffin. Enum. 17. 1— Hedw. Stirp. ii. 2— (E. Bot. 2386. E.) 
Tough and gelatinous when moist, brittle when dry; paler underneath; 
white within. Hedwig.

L. granula'tus. Saucers tawny, concave: leaves dark green, tiled,

Grows in a circular form. Leaves variously jagged, lobes blunt, ear-shaped 
in the middle part, with numerous fleshy shining globules in the hollow 
part, of the colour and substance of the leaves. Dill.

L. cociilea'tus. Saucers brown red: foliage dark green, membrana¬ 
ceous, plaited, lobed. 
Dicks. 2. 9. 
Leaves concave, the edge bluntly lobed, plaited when dry, between ash 
and lead-coloured, when moist dark green. Differs from L. vespertilio 
in the edges of the leaves being elevated and concave, in being of an ash- 
lead colour when dry, the saucers being larger and not crowded. Dicks. 
The young saucers have a border of the colour of the leaves, and 
are sunk into the foliage. The plant has the gelatinous texture of 
L. granulatus, and is not distinct from it. L. granulatus varies with¬ 
out end: when it grows on moss it is a very large thick-leaved gelatinous 
plant. I have found specimens four or five inches in diameter and one- 
tenth of an inch thick. In this state it bears only shining fleshy globules, 
as described by Dillenius, which are the rudiments of young plants, and 
when separated from the mother plant take root, and being removed into 
a flower-pot, placed in a moist place, they become perfect plants. Mr. 
Griffith.

L. palma'tus. Saucers tawny: foliage purplish sea-green, pellucid, 
rather gelatinous, tender, somewhat hand-shaped and scolloped. 
{E. Bot. 1635. E.)— Dill. 19. 30— Vaill. 21. 15. 
Grows closely crowded and tiled. Leaves very tender, pellucid, rather 
gelatinous, very much cut, segments ending in two, three, or four horn¬ 
shaped teeth, dull brown, or purplish green* convex above, concave 
underneath. Dill. Black and very brittle when dry. Dillenius has 
neither figured nor described the saucers, nor have I seen any plant in 
fruit. The colour of the saucers is therefore mentioned upon the autho¬ 
rity of Hudson, but Mr. Griffith thinks that his plant was only a crowded
