Varies: The tvpe oï Pannclia iiitcstiiiiforniis is — according to Wainio 

 1. c. — evidendy the plant with narrow elongate more or less apiculate, 

 torulose laciniae, and a dark greyi-sh or brownish-black colour {ß. intcstini- 

 foniiis (ViLL.) Th. Fr. Lieh. Scand. p. 119. The L ciicaiista (Sm.) Waix. 

 has a paler thallus, less torulose laciniae, the marginal ones flattened and 

 broader. The laciniae are occasionally very complicate (narrow, much bran- 

 ched and entangled), such forms are called f. tcxtilis Ach. if the colour is 

 dark gre\-ish, or f. candcfacfa Ach. if pale greyish or greyish-white. 



It might a priori be supposed that such ibrms should be confluent, 

 and in reality they are easily seen to be so. These names only represent 

 individual variation or perhaps climatic modifications. 



The type is alpine and northern, much less common than f oicaiista. 



f. aicaiista is distributed throughout all the mountains of Southern 

 Norway. It is verv frequent or even abundant in the higher part o{ the 

 subalpine zone (500—800 m. s. m.). I have but rarely seen it in the con- 

 tinental lowlands. But on the south coast it appears again near the shore. 

 In Western Norway it is common down to 300 m. s. m., but according to 

 Havaas it does not descend to the sea level on the west coast. — It 

 becomes much less common in Northern Norway. It retires from the sea 

 and is found scattered in the continental alpine and subalpine regions, and 

 occasionally in the lowland at the inland end of the great fjords. — Neither 

 recorded from Tana nor from Varanger. 



The modification caiidcfada seems to be more common in Northern 

 than in Southern Norwa}'.
