 little developed. 



1. C. endiviaefolia Fr. Lich. Eur. (1831) p. 212.— Thallus lar<?e 

 and rigid at the base : lacinia) multitid, long, flexuosc, generally 

 crentilate at the rounded apices, yellowish or glaucous-green, beneath 

 pale straw-coloured or whitish ; podetia small, cylindrical, simple, 

 rarely irregularly scyphiferous, arising from the upper surface of 

 the lacinise (Kf-|- yellowish, K(CaCl)-|- deeper yellow). Apothecia 

 more or less confluent, pale or brown ; spores oblong, 0,011-13 mm. 

 long, 0,0035-0,004 mm. thick.— Mudd, Man. p. b2 ■ Brit. Clad.

The basal thallus is larger than in the other species, the lacinipe being 

 often 1-2 inches long and \ inch broad. The yellowish-green colour of 

 the upper and the paler yellow of the under surface, turned up in dry 

 weather, render this a beautiful plant. It varies in size, and the smaller 

 and more divided states are with difficulty distinguished from other 

 species. The apothecia are extremely rare and little developed in this 

 country. 



Hab. On dry sandy (usually calcareous) soil among mosses and short 

 grasses, chiefly in maritime districts. — Distr. Local and scarce, in a few 

 lo alities in E. and S. England. — B. M. : Hemsby, near Yarmouth, Suf- 

 folk ; Banstead Downs, Surrey ; Newhaven, Sussex (fruit). 



2. C. alcicornis Floerko, Clad. (1828) p. 23.— Thallus somewhat 

 large and rigid at the base ; lacinicc multifid, often almost palmately 

 divided, more or less blackish -fibrillose at the margins, glaucous- 

 green or yellowish, beneath whitish straw-coloured or nearly white ; 

 podetia arising from the upper surface of the lacinise, small or 

 moderate, usually narrowly scyphiferous, scyphi cristate at the 

 margins (K— , K(CaCl)-|-deep yellow). Apothecia often confluent, 

 brown ; spores as in the preceding species. — Cromb. Lich. Brit.

In its typical condition this may be distinguished from the precediug 

 by the more divided, narrower, and congested thallus, which is sometimes 

 pale rose-coloured beneath, and by the blackish fibrillnse margins of the
