Ncjilinnun rcsiipii/iiliiiii is comnu)!! or (-vcn frcfjuciit in Southern Nor- 

 way (nuii-c coiniiion lliaii A'. Idci'ii^nlniii in lln- lowlands); common also in 

 Northern Norway at somewhat protected statir)ns. Only few stations from 

 Finmark. — It ascends to the upper forest line. 



Usually well fertile. 



The margins are often more or less cristate (var. Iiclvcticimi Schaerj. 

 Small marginal folioli are not so common, but occasionally they are profu- 

 sely developed, covering the whole central part of the thallus. According 

 to Harm. Fl. T^rance p. 679 f. ramca Schaer is 'isidié- foliole', but all authors 

 agree in describing f. ramca as 'minuta' or 'peu développé'; our squamu- 

 lose specimens (from Larx'ik) are the largest TV. resiipinatiim in our Norw. 

 herb. In m}' opinion the folioli as well as the denticuli only represent 

 individual variation, for every transitional stage to the normal N. rcsnpiua- 

 tiim is seen. 



One of the best characters of Nephroma rcsnpiuaium is the white dots 

 (pseudocyphellae) on the under side; according to Høeg the}' are found on ^ 

 every Norw. specimen. 



The above formae of TV. resitpiiiatiim might be compared with A', parilc, 

 here treated as a proper species. Initial soredia of N. parilc might be ex- 

 plained as transitional stages to TV. lacvigatiim, but otherwise N. parilc is 

 quite distinct.
