From C. mnciteufa (typical), to wliich it is similar and with which it
has usually been coiilbundcd, this species is at once separated by the
absence of any reaction with K. in other respects it diilers iu the
podetia being more slender and gTaiiidoso-pulverulent. Our British
speciineus are but rarely well fertile.

This form, which is distinguisbed by the thicker and coarsely granulose
podetia, is analogous to var. seahrosa of Cl. macilexda. Our Britisli specimens
are for the most part well-lruited.

Differs in the podetia being more or less squamulose aud often digitately
divided, so that it has a considerable reseiiiblance to states of var.
coronata of the jireceding species. The British specimen.s seen are well
fertile.

Closely allied to C. hacillaris, from which it is distinguished by (he
glabrous corticate podetia, which are often blackish at the base. 'I t is
almost always abundantly fertile, and tbe fine scarlet, often confluent
apotliecia render it one of our most beautiful species.

Usually not rightly distinguished from tlie type, this differs in the
podetia being either pai'tly verrucose or entirely squamulose. Intermediate
states, however, in which the squamules are hut sparingly present
(though probably from abrasion), are frequent in herbaria.
