Descriptions
Velutaria nephrodigena (W. Phillips) Sacc. 1889
On fading fronds of Rumohra hispida (Sw.) Copel.
This is an epiphyllous lichen which has been kindly determined for me by Dr. R. Santesson as Bacidia subundulata (Stirt.) R. Sant. The species is peculiar in developing its apothecia on the opposite side of the leaf from its vegetative thallus so it is not surprising Phillips took it for a nonlichenised fungus. The pruinose character of the excipulum presumably led to the transfer to Velutaria.
