A very common plant on sandy ground in Pineta and Ericeta and at 

 sandy road-sides in the continental districts of Eastern Norway. Quite as 

 common in inland districts of Troms and Finmark, and not rare on the coast 

 at suitable places. Nordland and Trondelagen are poorly investigated 

 provinces, but there is every reason to suppose it to be common in their 

 inland districts. 



Very rare or entirely lacking on the west and south coast in Southern 

 Norwa}'.

Stereocaulon alpi/un/i is a variable species. The podetia are quite 

 short in some plants, almost calling to mind 6". co//de//sat/n//, and better 

 developed in other plants, often quite as long as in 6". to///entosum. The 

 short podetia develop large terminal apothecia (up to 5 — 6 mm. in diam.),
