Abstract
MR. CROMBIE is well-known as an indefatigable hunter after lichens and one who has added a considerable number of new species to the British flora. This little book contains a record of the habitat and distribution of the 658 species of lichens at present known as inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland, together with references to the authorities where descriptions are to be found and the synonymy. The classification followed is that of the veteran lichenologist Nylander, to whom the work is dedicated and the whole is written in Latin. It ought to be in the hands of everyone interested in this branch of our cryptogamic flora.
