The plant is always sterile, though Dickson and Acharius both 
describe apothecia. It seems doubtful if Dickson were really dealing 
with this species. In Acharius’ herbarium there are authentic speci- 
mens, but according to Lénnroth (Th. Fr. Lich. Arct. p. 79) they are 
all sterile. The early records in our country are all described as 
bearing apothecia, until Taylor, who says these bodies had not been 
seen in Ireland.
