Club-shaped or branched, four or five inches high, wrinkled, furrowed, 
thick as a quill. Bolton. Bulliard considers this as a variety of C. 
coralloides, but I think Bolton is right in keeping it distinct. It connects 
the unbranched with the branched species.

Solitary. Stem upright, somewhat angular, and compressed, branched. 
Branches unequal, short, thicker towards the ends, bluntly lopped. 
Whole plant covered with a white meal, which being rubbed off it 
appears yellow. Hickson.

From one to two inches high, branching, irregular in shape. Stems uniting 
at the bottom, purplish brown, covered with fine mealy white, which 
easily rubs off. Branches often like an expanded hand, whitish or yellow¬ 
ish brown, the ends jagged, set with several pointed projections and 
tipped with reddish brown. Substance solid, tough.

an error, possibly clerical. E.) Growing on the ground. Edgbaston

Cl. anthoceph'ala. Fan-shaped, lobed, rusty red: stem short, cylin¬ 
drical, hairy. 
(Grev. Scot. Crypt. 46. E.)— Bidl. 452.1—( Sowerby 156. E.) 
Stem nearly half an inch high : cylindrical, thick as a goose quill; expanding 
upwards into battledore-shaped segments scolloped at the ends. Plant 
leather-like, the colour of rusty iron, or purplish brown, but paler upwards. 
Bulliard’s figures are nearly two inches high, and almost as much in breadth 
at the top. Sibthorpe has cited Ray Syn. p. 16. n. 13. as a synonym, but 
Richardson describes that plant as resembling a cauliflower, weighing 
two or three pounds, of a yellowish green colour, and refers to Battar. 18. 
A. which well accords with his description. 
(Varying in size from half an inch to above four inches in height, and from 
a single stem to a dense mass two or three inches in thickness. Dr. Gre- 
ville observes that the larger specimens are <( insupportably foetid " soon 
after gathering. E.)
