 Fl. Dan. t. 2032. f. 2. 



Var. Gregaria, stipite fusco glabro, margine subconnivente. 

 On dead wood, Mossburnford, A. Jerdou, Esq. 



Our plant agrees with Schumacher's in habitat; it is not, 

 however, scattered in growth. It has a decidedly dark-brown 

 stem, which is smooth ; and the margin is rather connivent than 

 erect. We prefer, however, proposing it as a variety to making 

 it a distinct species. No one appears to have found Schumacher's 

 plant.
