95• A. astroidea f. Cembrce Anz. Lang., n. 463* 4 67< fide Ainu/. 
Stitz. Heb., n. 1103; but Arn. in Flora 1881,/. 203, says this last 
has the spores of A. astroidea , and is hardly entitled to a separate 
name.—Italy. 
182. A. excipienda. Nyl. Apoth. stouter than in A. dispersa , 
less frequently branched. Spores 2 locular, .014-19 by .006-7 mm . 
Reaction vinous red. —Sc and., p. 261. Alniq. p. 45 -—Scandinavia. 
183. A. dispersula, Nyl. Similar to A. dispersa. Apoth. 
somewhat oblong-lanceolate, or obsoletely abbreviate-angulose, 
sometimes decolorate or pallescent. Spores 2 locular, .008-11 by 
.003-4 mm. Spermatia slightly bowed, .006 mm. long.— Flora 
1876,/. 285.—Egypt. 
184. A. subdispersa, Nyl. in Mull. Arg. Sched. Graph. Cub. and 
Wright Cub., n. 145.—Not in my collection n. 281 of this collec¬ 
tion has 2 locular spores, .009-13 by .004-6 mm. : whether the same 
1 do not know. 
185. A. subdispersula, Nyl. Thallus white or yellowish white, 
determinate, limited by a black line. Apoth. small, linear, simple 
or abbreviate-ramose. Spores solaeform, 2 locular, brown, .009-11 
by .0035-55 nun.— Nyl. in liti. —Port Famine, Straits of Magellan, 
Hassler Exp. Sent to Nyl. under n. 14. 
186. A. aspersella, Leight. Thallus pale yellowish, effuse. 
Apoth. very minute, scattered, punctiform, linear or angular-conflu¬

188. A. taedescens, Nyl. Thallus inconspicuous. Apoth. in¬

but the spores larger, .016-21 by .006-8 mm.— Flora 1876, p. 237. 
—Ireland: and Nyl. has referred here provisionally plants from the 
United States.—The plant sent Nyl. was from Florida in hb. Eck- 
feldt, with spores .016-18 by .007-9. Illinois plants have the spores 
.016-23 by .008-9, or even -023-29 by .013 mm.; and similar plants
