On mossy giT)iiiKl in the forest, on mossy stones, f)n pe-aty soil, al.so, 

 though less frequently, at more dry and sunny places, e. g. sandy soil in 

 Ericeta. 



One (if our most frequent lichens, common and general in our whole 

 country with the exception of the west coast (ace. to IIava.as). 



It ascends irom the sea to very considerable altitudes, at least to 

 14 — t6oo 111., i)ut it is not conimon above tlie tree line It is most frequent 

 in the subalpine forest zone. 



Rather variable: podetia stout or slender, scyphous or ascyphous, and 

 more or less densely scpiamose. According to W.\i.\. Mon. I p. 209 the 

 esquamose var. Hooker/ (Tuck.) has been found at Hammerfest.

On mossy large stones and the like in alpine and subalpine situations. 

 It is rather common in our whole country, in Southern Norway especially 

 near the tree line. Specimens in our herb, from the southern lowlands 

 are not typical, their scyphi being poorly developed, often only a cristate 

 corona. In Arctic Norway it is less common at the coast, in places evidently 

 quite lacking. In Western Norway it is scarce in the lowlands, but com- 

 mon from 600 m. and higher. 



Easily mistaken for Cladouia iiiicialis, differing from that species by the 

 more slender and less branched podetia which are — at least p. p. — 

 scyphiferous.
