PREFACE.

The genus Arthonia ( the name said by the author to be derived from the Greek Artho , (aspergo) to sprinkle, “propter thallum apotheciis minutis quasi adspersum,” was established by Acharius in Schrader’s Neuer Journal f. d. Hot. 1806, accompanied by a table representing tolerably well, according to Krempelhuber, four species and one variety; but as F6e observes, (Ess. p. xxxi) the Greek word equivalent to aspergo is ardo , and the proper spelling of the name would have been Ardonia. The species as interpreted by him were described in his Lichenographia Universalis and Synopsis Lichenum , the genus being thus defined: Receptaculum univer¬ sale [thallus], crustaceum plano-expansum adnatum uniforme. Par- tiale [apothecia] innato-sessile subtrotundo-difforme immarginatum (atrum) membrana subcartilaginea tectum, parenchymate solido similari.” Some of his Arthonias, however, do not belong to the genus, while other lichens now comprised in it, including the pale- truited species, were referred to other genera, especially Graphis and Opegrapha . Fries, in his Lichenographia Europcea ref or mat a, did not accept the genus, but described several species belonging to it under Coniocarpon and Coniangium. The spore characters were first indicated by Eschweiler as follows: Asci [thekes] ovato- pyriformes, thecas [spores] foventes 3 vel 5 subcylindricas annulatas, annulis 1-15.” (Syst. p. 17, and f. 20.) F6e did not have a clear conception of the genus, regarding it in the Suppl. as an empirical one, and his figures of spores referred to Arthonia are mostly, if not all, those of species of Graphis , as are many of his Arthonias ; but he retains Coniocarpon DC. for Arthonias with colored fruit, (equiv¬ alent to Spiloma Ach.) Succeeding writers of the ante-microscopic period followed Acharius. The genus, as here understood, was defi¬ nitely established by Nylander in his Synopsis Arthoniarum , 1856, who has been followed by most subsequent writers, though some retain Art hot helium Mass, for the species with muriform spores, and Coniangium Fr. for those with 2 locular spores. The genus is de fined by Tuckerman, Genera, p. 217, as follows: “Apothecia ro- tundata oblongave, margin q accessorio thallode nunc instructa, pro- .prio destituta, plus minus aggregata 1. dein in pseudostroma difforme 1. rotundatum 1. stellatum confluentia. Sporae (in thecis plerumque abbreviates pyriformibus) oblongo-ovoideae, (nymphaeformes) 1. ob- longae 1. rarissime fusiformes, 2-4-pluriloculares, demum et muri- formi-multiloculares, fuscescentes 1. decolores. Spermatia oblonga 1. bacillaria, 1. acicularia ; sterigmatibus simplicibus. Thallus crus.

ri

taceus, uniformis, aut hypophlaeodes.” For a full account ot the synonymy of the genus, and for fuller historical observations, refei- ence may be had to the works of Tuckerman, Nylander and Alm- quist, to Koerber’s Sy sterna and Parerga, Th. M. Fries's Genera Heterolichen um , and Stitzenberger’s Beitrage.

In Nylander’s definition of the genus the thalamium is said to be paraphysibus discretis nullis.” There are however a few species, especially the lecideoid ones, which present the appearance of reg¬ ular paraphyses ; and I have observed such even in A. radiata and in A. glaucescens. But in most cases the thalamium is pervaded by a confused tissue not differing, perhaps, from the hyphae of the hy- pophlaeoid thallus, as may be seen in A. punctiformis . The thallus, especially when well developed, often takes a deep blue color with iodine, and this may also be seen in the hypophlaeoid hyphae, after previous treatment with dilute sulphuric acid. The gonidia are mostly the concatenate ones of the Graph ideas {chroolepogonidia Nyl.) ; but in a number of species are the ordinary green gonidia (, haplogonidia Nyl.) ; for the latter Nyl. has proposed the distinc¬ tive name Allarthonia. According to Almquist, p. 7, both forms sometimes occur in the same species.

The species of Arthonia have been largely increased by collectors in various parts of the world in recent times, among whom are specially to be mentioned Lindig for South America and Charles Wright for Cuba. The collections of the former have been deter¬ mined by Nylander. The Cuban Graphideae have been distributed. Among them are many new Arthonias, some of which have been named by Nylander, but they are as yet undescribed. The descrip tions I have attempted of some of them, being founded mostly on small specimens, must be regarded as imperfect ; and I have not ventured to name these species, to which names have perhaps already been given by Dr. Muller, who has rendered an important service by the revision of the Lichens of Eschweiler and Fee.

The synonymy of the European Arthonias is often conflicting, owing doubtless to some extent to the confusion of species in the early herbaria. The difference of opinion in regard to what shall constitute a species is great. These matters I do not undertake to decide.

A list of the authorities consulted will be found succeeding this preface. I had the privilege several years ago of examining the Ar¬ thonias of the late Professor Tuckerman’s herbarium, which, how¬ ever, had not been thoroughly worked up by him. But I have not had the opportunity of consulting them again for the purposes of this work.

The following pages are intended rather as a record than as a crit¬ ical revision and arrangement of the genus, which can only be at¬ tempted by one having access to the riches of the European herbaria,

TIT

and a better opportunity of examining the recent species than I have enjoyed. This might probably result in the reduction of some of the species herein mentioned. But a large accession may also be anticipated as the lichens of the world become better known. But little has as yet been done for the Arthonias of North America, and many additions may be expected to them, especially in the Southern and Western regions.

The object of this publication will have been fully attained if it shall aid some more competent hand in making a complete and much to be desired study and elaboration of this difficult genus. To such I appeal for a lenient judgment of the errors and deficiencies which may be found in a perhaps presumptuous undertaking.

The following arrangement is of course artificial, being designed to give some aid in the examination of species. Some might with equal propriety be referred to the series with colored, or to that with black apothecia. The color of the spores is mentioned only when they are brown, although typically all the Arthonia spores belong to the colored series. It has not been attempted to give all the syno¬ nyms of the older writers, and in general only the more recent exsic- cati known to the writer have been referred to. The spores of Ar¬ thonia are mostly 8 or 6-8 ; in a very few species 1-2. No Arthonias with polysporous thekes are known. As to the manner of develop¬ ment of the Spore, see Minks , Symbol#, p- xii .
