CRYPTOGAMIA LICHENES
41

Obs. This Lecidea, under one Appearance, agrees pretty well with Acharius's Character of L. orosthea; under another, it is certainly his Parmelia squamulosa; and under a third, without doubt, it is Parmelia privigna of that Author. Its Apothecia really become the Crust of squamulosa and privigna, and produce other Apothecia, which, at their first Appearance, resemle those of the Endocarpon; and the Plant therefore probably has passed, with some Lichenists at least, under different Forms, as so many different Species of that Genus; and indeed it appears to have as good a Claim so to pass, as some others which do.—H.
