Thallus subcrustaceous, uniform ; podetia mostly simple, short
hollow. Apothecia (cephalodia) orbicular, not bordered, capi-
tuliform, thickened, inflated beneath, terminal, reflexed at the
margin, uniform within.—Name ; tfu/Lvog, compact, croiuded, and
drihq, a small breast, which its fructification resembles, while the
thallus is dense and crowded.— I am far from being satisfied
with the character of this Genus ; yet there is something in its
habit so different from the other Cladoniece, that I do not well
see how it can be united either with Cladonia or Scyphophorus.
