Whether this be a variety of the preceding, or a distinct species, seems 
doubtful. The principal difference is that in C. coralloides the whole 
plant issues out of one thick and solid stem, which afterwards divides 
and sub-divides into very numerous branches; but in this species they 
seem very slightly if at all connected at the base, where the distinct 
stems are much attenuated, and are either simple or slightly branched, 
and lopped at the top. From these circumstances it may be thought to 
approach C. pistillaris, but I should consider it as distinct from both. 
Vaill. 8. 4. probably belongs to this, as Bolton supposes. Mr. Woodward. 
Branches thickest upwards, lopped and flat at the ends. Yellow, white, 
or purple, full one to three inches high, and thick as a crow or a raven 
quill. Bolt. Lightf. Schaeff. It is evident from the inspection of the various 
figures, that some have been drawn, as Bolt. 112. 2. from plants in a 
young state. When somewhat older, pointed teeth shoot out from the 
ends, and when older still these become larger and sometimes branched. 
Bulliard considers C. fastigiata as only a flat topped variety of C. coral¬ 
loides.

Cl. corla/cea. Branches flattish, grooved, the ends fringed; grey,

Bull. 452.2. 
Substance soft, but elastic: grows bundled together like coralline; about 
two inches high. Differs from C. coralloides and C. fastigiata in the lon¬ 
gitudinal grooves, but is perhaps not specifically distinct.

This differs from both the preceding in having the extremities of the 
branches sharply pointed, but it agrees with C. fastigiata in being nearly 
distinct at the base, and with C. coralloides in being much branched. Mr. 
Woodward. Yellow or brown yellow, from two to five inches high, 
branches like some of the shrubby Lichens, the branches always affecting 
forked divisions, and terminating in pointed forks.
