The podetia are sometimes very long (up to 4 inches) and stouter 
than in the species. In some instances they are short and swollen, 
with a deformed appearance (f. twrgescens), or distorted and obtuse at 
the apices (f. obtusata); these forms are intimately connected with 
f. elatior.

Primary thallus soon evanescent ; podetia elongate, slender or 
stoutish, variously branched, rarely perforate at the axils, 
smooth, the branches tapering or furcate, or becoming scyphi- 
ferous, the scyphi dentate-cristate or spinulose at the margins, 
often proliferous, straw-coloured or whitish+straw-coloured (K —, 
K(CaCl) + yellow). Apothecia rather small, brown or pale- 
reddish-brown ; spores oblong, 9-12 p long, 3°5 mu thick.—Mudd

Closely allied to the preceding, but distinguished by the occurrence 
of seyphi-bearing podetia mixed with the subulate podetia. The 
seyphi are cristate, and resemble somewhat the blunt end of a 
podetium growing out on all sides. 
Hab. On the ground in moist places amongst heaths in upland 
and sub-alpine regions.—Dist7, Rare in N. England, among the
