Essentially an upland lichen, it is one of the most beautiful species 
of Cladonia, with rather tall simple podetia and brilliantly coloured 
massive apothecia that generally close up the scyphus. It differs 
from the preceding in being corticate and more squamulose and in 
the narrower scyphi. The more slender forms have been designated 
as f. gracilenta.
