466 CYCLOCARPINEA [CLADONIA 
41. C. Floerkeana Fr. Nov. Sched. Crit. p. 18 (1826).— 
Primary thallus of small scattered squamules, laciniate or crenate, 
greenish-white above, white beneath, often scarcely visible ; 
podetia short, cylindrical, slender, corticate entirely or in parts, — 
only rarely sorediose, greyish-white or -green or brownish, often 
blackish at the base ; mostly ascyphous, but rather wider at 
the obtuse apex, or frequently shortly divided or branched 
(K—, CaCl—). Apothecia moderate in size, usually conglomerate 
and bulging over the tips of the podetia; spores 8-10 p» long, 
3 p thick.—Cromb.. Lich. Brit. p. 21 pro parte & Monogr. i. 
p- 172; Leight. Lich. Fl. p. 71; ed. 3, p. 65 pro parte.

Differs from C. bacillaris in the shorter slender corticate rough 
podetia, rather like some of C. pityrea, and in the abundant apothecia. 
Not unfrequently the podetia become roughly sorediose. 
Hab. On peaty ground in upland moorlands.— Distr. Rather rare 
in the typically corticate condition in S. and N. England and among 
the Scottish Grampians.—B. M. Dartmoor, Devon; Ayton Moor, 
Cleveland, Yorkshire; Teesdale, Durham; Achosragan Hill, Argyll ;

Aberdeenshire. 
Var. carcata Wainio Clad. Univ. i. p. 80 (1887).—Podetia 
short or medium-sized, multifid above, more or less verrucose- 
squamulose and often becoming sorediose.—Form trachypoda

Searcely distinguished from the species except by the squamules, 
which are usually rather scattered on the podetia; the squamules or 
verruce may become sorediose-pulverulent, and the apex is often 
multifid as in the species. Cenomyce carcata Ach. is of doubtful 
position, the description seems to refer more closely to C. bacillaris. 
Hab. On peaty soil on the ground or on boulders in upland 
regions. — Distr. Not unfrequent throughout Great Britain and 
Ireland.—B. M. Ardingly Rocks, Sussex; Tunbridge Wells, Kent ; 
Esher Common and Leith Hill, Surrey; Epping Forest, Essex; 
Bardon Hill, Leicestershire ; Arcoll Hill, Shropshire; Rhewgreidden, 
Merioneth ; Battersby Bank and Baysdale, Cleveland, Yorkshire; 
New Galloway, Kirkeudbrightshire; Sheriffmuir, near Stirling;
