H ab. Lord Auckland’s group and Campbell’s Is lan d ; on tb e tru n k s of trees and ou rocks in mountainous
places, very abundant.
An exceedingly variable plant, of which w'e have added a character, that of Delise being imperfect. The most
obvious specific distinction lies in the pubescent apothecia with fimbriated margins to tbe cups, to which may be
added, the pale colom, and the wrinkled margins of the lobes, wHcli are sometimes extremely concave. In alpine
specimens the thaUus is often quite smooth underneath, with the margins singidarly crumpled. The colour varies,
underneath it is of aU shades, from black to a dii'ty yellow. Cape Horn aud Falkland Island specimens are more
plane, with the lobes and apothecia larger.

H a b . Lord Auckland’s group and CampbeU’s Island ; on th e trmiks and branches ot trees, abmidant,
also on th e mountain rocks.
We know of no single character by which this form, wkich is as variable as any of its congeners, may he recognized.
In its normal state the whole frond is frdly a span across, aU parts of it rugose wdth deep lacimæ ; specimens
from the woods are of a lax habit, with lobes an inch broad, of a pale brown or yellow beneath ; those from the
mountains, again, are deep olive green and almost black beneath, -with the lobes short and round, and the cyphellæ
of a bright yeRow. In many respects it is very closely allied to the S. carpohtxa, Delise, wliich, according to Montague
(whose authentically named collection of Stictæ is the compietesi I have seen), has the apothecia invariably marginal.
The present plant includes in part both S. impressa and S. cellulifera, of the ‘ London Journal of Botany.’

H as. Lord Auckland’s gi-oup; on the trunks of old trees.
Discovered by Mr. Menzies in Dusky Bay, New Zealand. Very distmct from S.filicina, of Acharius, iu the
ecostate frond, veiy thick textm-e, and dark coloured apothecia. Mr. Menzies’ specimens have rather broader lobes,
but do not otherwise differ from those gathered in Lord Anckland’s group. The S. latifrons, A. Rich., is also costate,
and of a different colom, w-ith small pale yeUow-red apothecia. Tlie present is in New Zealand probably confined
to tbe southern extremity.

Dr. Montague distingidshes this from the A carpolmna, DeUse, by its having the apothecia ou the smface as
weU as on the margins of the fi-ond, aud by its different under surface. Our specimens are in a rather imperfect
state.
The S. variaHlU, Ach., is also enumerated by Montagne as a native of Lord Auckland’s group.

A most variable plant and a very abundant one in New Zealand and Tasmania; on the hills the thallus is reduced
to a few imbricating scales, as in Sgmmaria, and the apothecia are strangely contorted and closed, having the
border closely inflexed; in this state we are inclined to suspect that it passes into the Lecanora Hgpuorurn of these
islands.

This, judging from om copious suites of Tasmanian and New Holland specimens, is hardly distmct from F. n -
Uginosa. Montagne’s figme of it is excellent.
