—Primary squamules rather large or small, irregularly multifid 
and incised-crenate, pale-green or -olive above, white below or 
yellow towards the base ; podetia of moderate length, somewhat 
widening upwards to the rather narrow scyphus, rarely ascyphous, 
often squamulose below, granular-pulverulent upwards, sometimes 
branched, the scyphus fringed by an irregular corona of prolifera- 
tions of varying length (K + orange-yellow, CaCl —). Apothecia 
small, discrete, or conglomerate and blocking up the scyphi; 
spores oblong-fusiform, 9—11 » long.—C. polydactyla Floerk. Clad.

Sometimes described as a variety of C. macilenta, with which it is 
closely connected, and with which it agrees in the white-pulverulent 
podetia and the reaction with potash; but distinguished by distinctly 
coronate scyphi. It is generally well-fruited. Lichen ventricosus 
doubtfully represents a form of this or of other species.
