,oi6-i 8 mm. Reaction blue. — Pr. A r . Gr. ft- 98. In Flora 1880, 
ft. 128, Graft his Caribcea Fie, is given as a synonym of the plant 
from the Antilles, and the spores are described as 6-8 locular, 044- 
48 by .620-25 mm. A Florida lichen in hb. Sprague, referred here 
by Nyl., has the apoth reddish-brown, and now stellate branched. 
Spores 6-8 locular, 020-30 by .011-18 mm. According to Mtill- 
Arg. Graph. Fie, ft. 56, it occurs in hb. Fde under Graphis endo- 
carpa p. p., and G. caribcea, p. p., and the two middle cells are 
larger.— ? Wright Cub. n. 215. — Tropical. — There is perhaps still 
some confusion between this and the two preceding species. 
65. A. astroidestera, Nyl. Similar to A. astroidea, but the 
apoth. brown, and more distinctly stellate. Spores 4-6 locular,

66. A. catenatula, Nyl. Thallus thin, white, limited by a black

nous red. — Ins. Andam.. ft. 14.—Andaman Islands, Bay of Bengal. 
67. A. novella, Kph. Thallus white or pale rose-colored, bor¬ 
dered by a dark line, irregularly expanded. Apoth. blackish-brown 
or blackening, numerous, innate, short, somewhat lirellaeform, va¬ 
riously flexuous, simple or branched, bordered by a thin thalline mar¬ 
gin. Spores ovoid-oblong, 4 locular, .014-15 by .004-5 mm.—

68. A. subnovella, Mull. Arg. Thallus white, smooth. Apoth. 
dark reddish-brown, more or less stellate ramose, minute, slender, 
slightly emergent, soon naked. Spores oblong-ovoid, 4-5 locular, 
.015-20 by .005-75 mm., the upper cell larger. — Parag., ft. 25.— 
Paraguay. 
69. A. Thozetiuna, Mull. Arg. Thallus thin, white, here and 
there intersected by black hypothalline lines. Apoth blackish-red 
and blackening, linear, simple or more often somewhat stellate-few- 
branched, bordered by a thin darker margin, when young greyish 
pruinose, at length naked, paler when wet. Spores oblong-ovoid, 
4 locular, .012-13 by .005 mm. — Beitr., n. 524. — Shirley, 1889, ft.
