H a b . Growing among Mosses and Hepaticce, Cheshunt, Kangaroo Bottom, etc., Gunn, Hooker, Oldfield,
Lyall.
Mr. Archer has gathered at Cheshunt a form of this species (as it seems) kuown as C. delicata, Auctt.
Dr. Hooker’s specimens are veiy long, flexuous, and decurved, without apothecia. Dr. Taylor considers them
to be a new species, which he calls C. decurva in Herb. Hook.
5. Cladonia c ap ite lla ta (Bab. 1. c. p. 296. t. esxx.).
H ab. St. Patrick’s.
This is erroneously referred by Dr. Nylander, in his Enum. Gen. des Lich. p. 95, to C. amaurocrea, which
it completely resembles indeed at first sight, but differs from it essentially in the perforated axils.
6 . Cladonia furcata (Hoffm.; Bab. 1. c. p. 296).

Dr. Nylander refers the imperfect specimens of Mr. Oldfield to var. seductrix, Del.

16. Cladonia Plork ean a (Fries; Bab. l.c . p. 298).
H a b . On rotten wood, Falls of the Meander, Western Mountains, Archer.
It is possible that this enumeration may not be quite perfect, as there are many specimeus which I cannot
name satisfactorily. The species of Cladonia which occur in Tasmania have been found also in New Zealand,
C. defoitnis excepted ; and only one species, C. gracilis (considered by many not to be specifically different from
0. verticillata), occurs in New Zealand which has not been found iu Tasmania.

A pretty species, with an almost white, tliiu, foliaceous thaüus, which might well be mistaken for a Parmelia.
It is thus characterized by Dr. Nylander Thallus albo-vcl albido-glaucesceus subopacus squamosus, squamis
