Excerpt: ...generally colourless or sometimes pale-brownish; paraphyses discrete, usually more or less articulate, moderate, or thickish; hymenial gelatine (especially the apices of the thecae) blue with iodine. Spermogones with jointed sterigmata. The plants of this tribe are for the most part the largest and best developed of all lichens. With these " patriclans of lichens," as they were termed by Drs. Taylor and Hooker (Hook. J ourn. Bot. 1844, p. 635), the ascending series in Nylander's classification culminates. The thallus, which in its earlier stages of growth is orbicular, is usually widely expanded, of a coriaceo-membranaceous texture, and frequently, when wet, emits an odour as of hemp. In a few species peculiar cephalodia occur either on the upper surface, on the margins, or on the lower surface of the thallus (vide yl. Syn. l. c. p. 333).

The tribe has been divided by Nylander into the following 2 subtribes, comprising 5 genera, founded upon differences in the structure and character of the thallus, the presence or absence of cyphellse, and the nature of the...
