5. (i/piuiiiii is mole erect than S. loinnitosimi, and less branched at 

 the base. The turgid squamules resemble S. dcnndatwn, but they are more 

 convex in .S. alpiiiiini, and hardly ever white-edged as in the former species, 

 and S. dciiuddhun has glabrous podetia. 



The late l''innish lichenologist G. Lang determined my plants from 

 Likkavarre, lniistt\and, and Moen in Troms fylke as 'either botryosum or 

 subintrkons . 



S. alpiiiiiin is a typical plant on the mountains at places which are 

 moistened by cold water (associated with Solnriua crocea), e. g. at small 

 brooks, under glaciers and snowdrifts, and the like. It is supposed to be 

 common on the mountains in Eastern and Central Norway, where it ascends 

 to very considerable altitudes (2000 m?), and also occasionalh' descends to 

 the regio silvatica. In Western Norway it is e\-idendy very rare. In 

 Northern Norway it descends to the level of the sea, it is supposed to be 

 common thei-e, at least in Troms fvlke.

The stations recorded indicate a northern and alpine distribution, in 

 Southern Norway only recorded from the mountains. 



Probably related to 6". fastigiatiDii, but its podetia are compressed.
