Patches crowded, about 3 inch wide, appearing as a dark 
olive-brown coarse powder; the granules are distinct under 
a lens, the larger and more central are roundish and. contain 
each an apothecium tipped with black, the marginal are more 
elongated, somewhat effigurate, at the very extremity they 
are thin and investing; when moistened the granules are 
gelatinous, subpellucid, internally greenish. "The black shell 
does not pass beneath the nucleus. The crust is far less 
polished, less continuous and more uneven than in V. um- 
brina, Ach., while the nucleus is paler.
