CRYPTOGAMIA LICHENES.
Lichen haematomma.—Eng. Bot. t. 486.

On Rocks near Heddon on the Wall, and at Harlow Hill, N. On the Walls of Muggleswick Park, and on Whin-Rocks and old Trees near the High Force, in Teesdale; also on Walls near Egleston, D. [On Walls between Cotherston and Romaldkirk, Yorkshire.—H.]

1244. Lecidea Stonei.

See Lecidea haematomma.

1245. Lecidea granulosa.—var. α. decolorata.

Lichen quadricolar.—Eng. Bot. t. 1185.

Peat Bogs in the Neighbourhood of Eglesston, and on Muggleswick Fell; also near Medomsley, D.

Obs. There can be doubt that this is Verrucaria granulosa, and Patellaria decolorans of Hoffman's Pl. Lich. the Figures in that Work under these names, represent two different states of it so strikingly. Dickson's Lichen granulosus is quite distinct from this Lecidea, though he considers, it as the same; and so it likewise his L. quadricolor, which is quoted by Acharius as a Synonym of it; they are not indeed of the same Genus being both Parmeliae. One state of Dickson's L. granulosus accords extremely well with the character of his own Lichen pezizoides; and Acharius's P. lepidora very evidently is nothing but a modification of it.—H.

1246. Lecidea quadricolor.—Dick.

This is a Parmelia.

On the Ground upon Gateshead Fell, and en Earth upon the Tops. of Walls near Egleston, D.

See Obs. under Lecidea granulosa.

1247. Lecidea cyrtella.

On Trees near Gainford, D.

Obs. This perhaps may turn out to be not a distinct Species.

1248, Lecidea vernalis.

See Obs. under Lecidea luteola.

Lecidea vernalis, var. β.
