Well distinguished by its general habit and the squamulose podetia, 

 which are occasionally, however, somewhat slender (form tenuior Cromb.). 

 By Acharius and others it was regarded as a distinct species ; but it i.-> 

 scarcely entitled to rank otherwise than as a subspecies or probably only 

 as a variety of C. furcata. In this country the apothecia seem to be 

 rare. 



Hab. On the ground in moorlands, usually on damp peaty soil in 

 upland districts. Distr. Local and scarce in Great Britain and in S.W. 

 Ireland. B. M. : Malvern, Worcestershire ; Rhewgreidden and Dolgelly, 

 Merionethshire ; Guisboro' Moor, Cleveland, Yorkshire. New Galloway, 

 Kirkcudbrightshire ; Glen Lochay and llannoch, Perthshire ; Glen Cal- 

 later, Braemar, Aberdeenshire ; Glen Nevis, Inverness-shire. Kilkniey, 

 co. Kerry. 



Form 1. recurva Florke, Clad. (1828) p. 147. Podetia usually 

 more folioso-squamulose, the branches short, recurved, subfurcate 

 and subulate. Cromb. Grevillea, xi. p. 113. Cladonia furcata ft.

The more or less densely squamulose podetia and their recurved apices 

 are the characteristics of this form. In a very young state it sometimes 

 occurs with the basal thallus well-developed and the podetia very short. 

 In our specimens the apothecia are seldom seen. 



Hob. On the ground in moorlands and on turf-walls in maritime and 

 upland situations. Distr. Occurs only here and there sparingly in Great 

 Britain ; not seen from Ireland. B. M. : Bolt Head and near Torquay, 

 S. Devon ; Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire ; Aberdovey, Merionethshire ; 

 Farndale Moor, Cleveland, Yorkshire. Appin, Argyleshire; Craig Cal- 

 liach and Rannoch, Perthshire ; Hills of Nigg, Kincardineshire ; Glen 

 Muick, Braemar, Aberdeenshire. 



Form 2. palamaea Nyl. ex Cromb. Grevillea, xii. (1884) p. 91. 

 Podetia somewhat turgid and curved, noduloso-rugose, usually some- 

 what dilated and subdigitutcly divided at the apices. Btcomyeet 

 syinosus ft. palamceus Ach. Meth. (1803) p. 359.
