■ SUMMARY Aleuria aurantia (Fr.) Fuckel in ICELAND At the beginning of September 1997 the author found a big scarlet ascomycete on a sand dune dominated by Equisetum arvense L. in associa- tion with Rumex acetosella L. at Stjórnarsandur, Vestur-Skaftafellsýsla, in South-lceland. The specimens clearly belong to Aleuria aurantia (Fr.) Fuckel (Orange Peel Fungus) and are con- served in the author’s herbarium. This same species was recorded 1935 at Laug- arvatn, South-Iceland by M. P. Christiansen (1941). No specimens are conserved in the Bo- tanical Museum in Copenhagen to confirm this discovery of Aleuria aurantia (Fr.) Fuckel in Iceland. It has been suggested, with some plausibility, that the identification was incorrect. The species bears some resemblance to Melastiza chateri (W.G. Smith) Boud. and might have been con- fused with it. The latter one is not uncommon in Iceland and has been gathered not further away than 25 km from Laugarvatn.
