A very distinct species both in the characters of the thallus and of 
the apothecia which are rather rare. It is not unlike Synalissa 
ramulosa in habit. 
Hab. On damp shaded rocks among mosses in alpine places.—

and Craig Calliach, Perthshire. 
Thallus lobes smooth, somewhat spreading.

thickish, pulpy, subimbricate-lobed, olive-brown or dark-greenish, 
the lobes small, thick and swollen, nearly entire or somewhat 
uneven, crenate, often plicate and wrinkled, generally crowded 
(I + reddish). Apothecia moderate in size, concave, becoming 
plane or convex, reddish or dark-red, with a thick entire margin, 
becoming thinner with age: spores ovoid, 3-septate, later with

Distinguished by the thick pulpy often crowded lobes of the 
thallus, and by the entire margin of the apothecia. It is not con- 
spicuous except in wet weather. The apothecia are sometimes so 
abundant as almost to obscure the thallus; they are chiefly central 
and may become confluent. 
Hab. On the ground and on old walls, chiefly calcareous, in mari- 
time and inland districts.—Distr. General throughout the British 
Isles.—B. M. Rocquaine Bay and St. Saviour’s Hill, Guernsey;
