spreading, granular-squamulose, the squamules small, crenute, 
densely crowded and imbricate, with a granular appearance, 
tawny- or greyish-brown ; a thin arachnoid greyish-white hypo- 
thallus sometimes visible. Apothecia moderate in size or rather 
large, plane, red, or reddish-brown, the thalline margin crenulate ; 
spores fusiform-ellipsoid, minutely warted, 15-28 p» long, 7-11 p 
thick ; hymenial gelatine bright-blue then sordid-bluish with 
iodine.—P. brunnea Massal. Ric. Lich. p. 113 (1852) pro parte ;

Frequently confused with P. nebulosa. The thallus of both is 
dark-bluish-green when moist, but in P. pezizotdes it dries to a tawny- 
brown, and the formation of the thallus is different. In shady 
situations it is more bluish-grey with paler apothecia. At high 
altitudes, as on Ben Lawers, thallus and apothecia are darker, and 
the hypothallus blackish.
