Diagnosis.—Cellular flowerless plants, nourished through their xvhole surface hy themedium in which they vegetate; living in air; propagated by spores usuallyinclosed in asci, and ahvays having green gonidia in their Perennial plants, often spreading over the surface of the earth, or rocks, or trees, indry places, in the form of a lobed and foliaceous, or hard and crustaceous, or leproussubstance, called a thallus. This thallus is formed of a cortical and medullary layer,of which the former is simply cellular, the latter both cellular and filamentous ; in the crustaceous species the cortical andmedullary layer differ chiefly in tex-ture, and in the former being co-loured, the latter colourless ; but in thefruticulose or foliaceous species, themedulla is distinctly floccose, inthe latter occupj-ing the lower half ofthe thallus, in the former enclosed allround by the cortical layer. Repro-ductive matter of two kinds ; 1, spoiesnaked, or lying in membranous amy-laceous tubes (thecse) immersed innuclei of the medullary substance,which burst through the corticallayer, and colour and harden
