This difiers iu tbe form of tbe podetia, which are often phylloqihorous,
and in the proliiications of the scyphi, wliich are sometimes 2-3 repeated,
aud thus present an analogy to those of C. soholifera. As observed, liovv-
ever, by Acharius, Syn. p. 2C9, it grows along with tbe type and probably
occurs on the same tballus, so that it can be considered only as a form.
In oiir Britisli specimens the apotbecia are generally expanded.

xVpparently very local and scarce in N. England, and among the Central
and N. Grampians, Scotland.—B. AI. ; Alston Aloors, Cumbeiland. Rannoch,

In the prolifications of the scyphi this unites in itself the position of
those of the type (e.rtensei) and of form asotea. Its most characteristic
mark is tbe development ot tbe podetial squamules into folioles on the
margins of the scyphi, crowning as it w ere the usually crowded apothecia.
Hah. Among mosses on boulders and walls in upland mountainous
situations.—Distr. Rather local and scarce in N. England, S. Scotland,
and among the Grampians.—B.AL: \V rekin Hill, Shropshire : Battersby

A"ar. ft. in c r a s s a ta F r. fil. Lich. Scand. (1871) p. 71.—Thallus
minutely squamulose and verrucose a t th e b ase; podetia short, ver-
rueoso-graiiulate, siniqde and subcylindrical or sparingly divided a t
the incrassate aqiices ; scyphi no t (or soaroely) developed. xYpotheeia
small, crowded.—Cromb. Grevillea, xii. p. 92.— Gladonia incrassata

This apparently descends from C. coccifera, of vvbich it is probably
only a peculiar and diminutive condition. ' The podetia are usually about
2 lines, rarely 4 in. high, with the scyphi either not at all developed or
very narrow. The apothecia are numerous, becoming at length more or
less confluent.
Hab. On peaty soil and putrid stumps of trees in mountainous districts.
—Distr. Found only sparingly iu tbe S.AA’. and Central Highlands of
Scotland.—B. M. : Barcaldine, Argyleshire ; Rannoch, Perthshire.
Subsp. C. pleurota Cromb. Grevillea, xi. (1883) p. 114.— Podetia
turbiiiato-soyphiferous, pulverulent, yellowish-whito or pale-
g re en ish ; scyphi dilated, suhentire or rarely proliferous a t the
margins. Apothecia solitary, subpedicellate.— Gladonia cornucopioides

a t the base, it can scarcely be regarded as a distinct species. The podetia
in states with larger scyphi have llie margin at length sinuate and
radiate. AAllh us it is only smaller and less typical states th at are
usually seen, and the apothecia are rarely present.
Hah. On the ground among mosses in shady places, on moorlands,
and iu woods in upland districts,—Distr. xYpparently local and scarce in
S.AV. and N. England, the AV. and N. Grampians, Scotlaud, and S.W.
