Distinguished by the smooth corticate podetia and the furcate 
tips; differing from C. gracilis in the absence of seyphi. The variety 
known either as corymbosa, racemosa or subulata appears to be only 
a growth form of the species occurring more frequently in higher 
latitudes; it is rather stouter and less distinctly furcate. Hudson’s 
Lichen furcatus refers partly to this species and in a minor degree to 
the squamulose var. pinnata. A small gather dark erect form 
(f, evilis) grows in upland districts. On chalky soil the podetia are 
almost white (f. epermena Ach.). 
Three forms have been distinguished by Stirton (Scott. Nat. ix. 
p. 121 (1885)) under the names of diffissa, contexta and commizta. 
It is impossible to deal with them in the absence of specimens. 
Another specimen with larger apothecia has been described by the 
same writer subsp. dispansa (Scott. Nat. n. s. ili. p. 808 (1888) ). 
Hab. On the ground on moorlands, and on turf-walls in wooded 
upland districts. —Distr. Probably general and common throughout
