(1856).—Thallus laciniate-lobed, somewhat digitate, spreading, 
the laciniz blunt and retuse at the apices or often with raised 
apical soralia, occasionally whitish- or blackish-ciliate ; beneath 
whitish to bluish-grey towards the base, adhering by stout whitish 
or black rhizinv or by cilia (K+ yellow). .Apothecia rare, sessile,

entire or sometimes crenate ; spores oblong, large, 25-36 p long, 
12-19 pw thick.—Cromb. Lich. Brit. p. 38; Leight. Lich. FI.

Distinguished by the apical soralia and ciliate margins. The 
lobes may be closely crowded and imbricate or scattered, especially 
if growing among mosses. Though apothecia are sometimes present 
in continental specimens, they have not been found in Britain. The 
cortex of both surfaces is composed of hyphe more or less parallel 
with the long axis of the laciniz. 
Hab. On mosses, rocks and trees, chiefly in maritime districts.—
