Differs from the preceding in the more abruptly widening scyphi, 
and from other Cladoniz in the finely furfuracous covering of the 
podetia distinctive of all the varieties and forms which rarely become 
sparsely squamulose. It is a very variable species, hence the nuinber 
of growth forms that have been recorded. Sometimes the podetia are 
denudate (f. costata), or more than once proliferous (f. prolifera). If 
the scyphi are more'denticulate than fimbriate it is f. denticulata, and 
when squamules are formed on the margin it is the somewhat rare 
f. pterygota. The apothecia are rare and usually sessile, but if they 
are borne on stalk-like projections it is f. carpophora. 
Hab. On the ground, roots of trees, and among mosses on old 
walls in maritime, lowland and upland districts.— Distr. General and 
common throughout the British Isles—B. M. Dartmoor, Devon;
