54 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO BOTANY<br />
dichotomously branched at maturity. In any event,<br />
<strong>the</strong> chemistry-fumarprotocetraric acid-was ano-<br />
malous for <strong>Parmelina</strong>, and this was <strong>the</strong> first clue to<br />
its correct generic status.<br />
<strong>Parmelina</strong> carporrhizans<br />
<strong>Parmelina</strong> carporrhizans (Taylor) <strong>Hale</strong>, 1974:482.<br />
I now consider this to be a synonym <strong>of</strong> Parme-<br />
lina quercina.<br />
<strong>Parmelina</strong> crystallorum<br />
<strong>Parmelina</strong> crystallorum (Lynge) <strong>Hale</strong>, 1974:482<br />
This species is synonymized under <strong>Parmelina</strong><br />
damaziana.<br />
Parme 1 ina h om ogen es<br />
<strong>Parmelina</strong> homogenes (Nylander) <strong>Hale</strong>, 1974:482.<br />
I have placed this species in synonymy under<br />

<strong>Parmelina</strong> nylanderi (Lynge) <strong>Hale</strong>, 1974:483.<br />
Parmelia nylanderi Lynge, 1914:82 [type collection: Sear $450<br />
Jeronyno, Serra da Chapada, Mato Grosso, Brazil, Malme<br />

I originally considered this loosely attached saxi-<br />
colous lichen to be a member <strong>of</strong> <strong>Parmelina</strong>, but<br />
after examining a second collection (Eiten 3429<br />
(US) from S5o Paulo, Brazil), I now feel that <strong>the</strong><br />
chemistry (usnic acid in <strong>the</strong> cortex and salazinic<br />
and gyroplioric acid in <strong>the</strong> medulla) and general<br />
habit, in spite <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> narrow ciliate lobes, place it<br />
more appropriately in Parmotrema (P. nylanderi<br />
(Lynge) <strong>Hale</strong>, new combination). It is related to<br />
<strong>the</strong> much broader lobed P. delicatulzim (Vainio)<br />
<strong>Hale</strong> group so common on sandstone in South<br />
America.
