distinguish this form. In the British specimens the apothecia are very
sparingly firesent, tliough the spermogones are uot uncommon.
Ilab. On the ground iu maritime and upland districts.—Distr. Local
and scarce in S.W. England aud the Highlands of Scotlaud; probably
overlooked.—B. AI. : St. Breock, Ooruwall. Barcaldine, Argyleshire;
liaiiuoch, Perthsliire.
Form 2. epiphylla Nyl. Lich. Soand. (1801) p. 50.—Podetia extremely
short or wanting. Apotheoia subsossilo on th e basal squamules,
conglomerate.—Cromh. Lich. Brit. p. 18 ; Grovillea, xi.
p. 111.— Gladonia jiy x id a ta ft. clüoropliæa g. epipiliyïla Mudd, Brit.
Clad. p. 9. Lichen egnphyllus Aoh. Prodr. (1798) p. 185.
This distinct form, or probably variety, is characterized by tbe podetia
being abortive or nearly so, and by tbe apothecia being consequently
more or less sessile on the basal tballus. A single British specimen bas
been seen ; it has a few very minute, scattered podetia.
Ilah. On the ground in upland tracts.—Distr. Extremely local and
scarce in E. England ; not recently found.—B. Al. ; Epping Forest, Essex.
Var. ft. pocillum F r. Sum. Vog. (1845) p. 110.—Squamules a t
tho base somewhat large, firm, usually appressed, subimhricate,
pale-greyish ; podetia short, turbinato-soyphiferous, corticate, g ra nulato
verrucoso. Apjothccia small, dark-brown.—Mudd, Alan,
p. 53 ; Brit. Clad. p. 7 ; Cromb. Lioh. Brit. p. 18 ; Grevillea, xi.
p. 111.— Boeomyces Pocillum Ach. Moth. (1803) p. 336, t. 8. f. 6.
In this variety the basal thallus, which is occasionally orbicular, is as if
crustaceo-appressed to the substratum, and is sometimes of a cervine or
lurid-cervine colour (form cervina Nyl. Syn. p. 103). The podetia are
more or less scattered, and the apothecia, rare in our specimens, arc marginal
on the scyphi.
Hab. On sterile soil on hanks and heaths in maritime and upland
tracts.—Distr. Probably general aud common, thougb seen only from
comparatively few localities iu England, Scotland, and the Channel
Islands.—B. AI. : The A''ale, Island of Guernsey. Near Bodmin, Cornwall;
Bathampton Downs, Somersetshire; Charnwood Forest,Leicestershire;
Barmouth, N. Wales; Kedcar, Cleveland, Yorksliire. Tongland,
Kirkcudbrightshire ; Killin and Rannoch, Perthshire ; Durris, Kincardineshire;
Countesswells and Castleton of Braemar, Aberdeenshire ; Glen
Nevis, Inveruess-shire.
Var. y. chlorophæa Florke, Clad. (1828) p. 70.— Squamules a t
th e base somewhat small ; podetia elongato-turbinate, greenish or
sulphur-coloured, granulato-pulverulent, scyphiferous ; soyphi usually
narrow, simple or variously proliferous.—Mudd, Clad. p. 8 ; Leight.
Lich. Fl. p. 60, ed. 3, p. 57 ; Cromb. Grevillea, xi. p. 111.— Cenomyce
chlorophoeaNYôxke in Somm. Suppl. Lapp. (1826) p. 130.—B rit.
Exs. : Mudd, Clad. nos. 7 -1 1 ; Leight. n. 399 ; Larb. Lich. Hh.
n. 206.
Characterized by the granulato-pulverulent podetia, in which it approaches
C. fimbriata. AVhen less developed the basal squamules are
often also pulverulent at tbe margins. I t is not uucommon in a fertile
condition, the apothecia being often confluent.
Hah. Among mosses on the ground and. old walls iu maritime and
upland districts.—Distr. General and common in Great Britain, and
probably also in Ireland, though no specimens have been seen ; rare in the
Channel Islands.—B. AI. ; Island of Guernsey. AA’ootton Common, Norfolk;
Epping Forest, Essex; Chislehurst, Kent; Leith Hill, Surrey;
Lustleigh Cleeve, Dartmoor, Devonshire; near Penzance and Helminton,
Cornwall ; Adderbury Church, Oxfordshire ; Hale End, Alalvern, AAter-
cestershire ; Shrewsbury, Shropshire ; Aberdovey and Dolgelly, AlerionetU-
shire ; Ayton, Newton, and Kildale Aloors, Cleveland, Yorkshire ; Alor-

Form 1. lepidophora Florke, Clad. (1828) p. 70.—Podetia
densely covered w ith minute, crowded, inoiso-orenate, glaucous-grey
squamules.— Cromb. Grevillea, xi. p. 1 11.— Cladonia p y x id a ta ft.
chlorophæa a. phyllophora (Wallr.) Aludd, Brit. Clad. p. 9.
This form seems quite distinct from the type, but the younger podetia
are as in it granulato-pulverulent. Its distinctive character no doubt
depends upon age and the nature of tbe habitat ; in tbe type itself podetia
sometimes occur bearing a few scattered squamules. In tbe few specimens
seeu the apotheoia are not numerous.
Hab. On old brick walls and thatched roofs in lowland districts.—
Distr. Probably general, though seen only from Central and AV, England,
N. AVales, and N.E. Scotland.—B. AI. : Lecblade, Oxfordshire; near
Cirencester, Gloucestershire ; Conway, Carnarvonshire. Kinuordy, Forfarshire
; Cults, near Aberdeen.
Form 2. myriocarpa Cromh. Grevillea, xi. (1883) p. 111.—
Po d e tia somewhat short, su bturhinate ; soyphi subdilated, proliferous
from th e margins, tho prolifioations nairow, multifid. Apotheoia
sessile, small, aggregato-oonfluent.— Cladonia p y x id a ta var.
fim h ria ta i.m yriocarpa Cocm. Clad. Belg. (1863) n. 5 3 ; Aludd,Brit.
Clad. p. 10.— B rit. Exs. : Larb. Cæsar. n. 58.
A well-marked form, referred to C. fimhriata by Coemans, but belonging
to tills variety of C. pyxidata, from which it is distinguished by tbe pro-
lifications of tbe scyphi. The apotbecia in well-fruited specimens are
very numerous and crowded, from pale-brown becoming reddish-brown.
_ Hah. On the ground and on wall-tops in maritime and upland situations.—
Distr. Local and scarce in the Channel Islands, AV. England
S. Scotland, and tbe S. and N. Grampians.—B. AI. : St. Ouen’s Bay,
Island of Jersey. Ozleworth Park, Gloucestershire ; Alalvern and Bewdley,
AA^orcestershire. Castle Douglas, Kirkcudbrightshire; Achmore,
Killin, Perthshire; Glen Chmy,Braemar, Aberdeenshire.
