The much shorter and slender podetia and the narrow scyphi cha- 

 racterize this form, -which is entirely referable to the above variety. 

 ^^ ith us it is scarcely, if ever, seen fertile, 



Hab. On putrid trunks in upland localities. — Distr. Found only in E., 

 S.W., Central, and X. Euglaud, the W. Highlands, Scotland, and S. Ire- 

 land. — B. M. : Epping Forest, Essex ; neai' Bodmin, Cornwall ; Cham-

Yar. c. cameopallida Xyl. Syn. i. (1860) p. 195. — Podetia mode- 

 rate, narrow, scyphiferous, whitish or greenish-white-pulverulent ; 

 scyphi narrow, crenate and sometimes proliferous at the margins. 

 Apothecia small, pale flesh-coloured. — Cromb. Grevillea, xi. p. 112. —

Somewhat similar to the preceding variety, from all states of which it 

 differs in the colour of the apothecia. In this respect it approaches to 

 C. cameola Fr., with which it has occasionally been confounded. The 

 two British specimens seen are only sparingly fertile. 



Hah. On putrid trunks of trees ia upland woods. — Distr. Seen only 

 from E. England ; no doubt to be detected elsewhere. — B. M. : Epping 

 Forest and Snaresbrook, Essex. 



Subsp. C. fihida Xyl. ex Xorrl. Medd. Soc. pro F. et Fl. Fenn. 

 (1876) p. 12. — Podetia elongate, slender, simple, subcylindrical, 

 white-pulverulent; scyphi narrow or none (K — , CaCl— ). Apo- 

 thecia small, brown, usually aggregate. — Cromb. Grevillea, xi.

The form of the podetia, which are 1-2 in. long, warrant this being 

 regarded as a subspecies. In the British specimens the podetia are 

 usually ascyphous and well-fertile. From it apparently descend the 

 varieties and fomis that foUow, all of which are connected by inter- 

 mediate states. 



Hab. On decaying stumps and on the ground among mosses in wooded 

 upland districts. — Ihstr. Gathered only very sparingly in S.W. England, 

 S. Scotland, the S.W. Highlands, and among the S. Grampians. — B. M. : 

 Dartmoor, Devonshire. New Galloway, Kirkcudbrightshire ; Barcaldine, 

 Argyleshire ; Glen Lochay, Kilhn, Perthshire. 



Form ahortiva Cromb. Grevillea, xi. (1883) p. 112. — Podetia
