I92I. No. 7. STUDIES OX THE LICHEN FLORA OF NORWAY. 81 



An alpine and northern species, rare — or oxcrseen — in our country. 

 Its distribution is very imperfectly known in Xorwa\-. It is possibly more 

 common in Northern Norway than these few stations indicate. I have found 

 it on Mt. Tantavaara in the northernmost corner of Sweden, near our 

 frontier (det. Lang). 



I have examined the apothecia of Anzi Lieh. Lang. i6: Paraphyses 

 facile discretae, apice capitatae, parce ramosae, sporae in specimine parce 

 evolutae, bi vel tri — septatae — septa indistincta, — apice obtusae vel 

 apiculatae, 20 — 31-4.5 — 5 [j. (Anzi: 11.2 — 21.5 3.7 — 5.6 ;j.|. 



KOH (Xorw. specimens) extus et intus aureus. — 



I do not consider this species to be so nearly related to 6". cvolittum 

 as Th. Fries does (Lieh. Scand. p. 45). The terminal apothecia are larger 

 than in the latter species, the spores longer and narrower, its branching 

 is more compact, its phyllocladia more like 6". alpiniini, and more or less 

 sorediate ('sorediose fatiscentes'). S. spatJuilifcnim has compressed podetia.
