Well distinguished by its general habit and the squamulose podetia, 

 which are occai?ioually, however, somewhat slender ( form tenuior Cromb.)- 

 By Acharius and others it was regarded as a distinct species ; but it is 

 scarcely entitled to rank (itherwise than as a subspecies or probably only 

 as a variety of C. furcata. In this country the apothecia seem to be 

 rare.

The more or less densely sqnamulose podetia and their recurved apices 

 are the characteristics of this form. In a very young state it sometimes 

 occurs with the basal thallus well-developed and the podetia very short. 

 In our specimens the apothecia are seldom seen. 



Hab. On the ground in moorlands and on turf-walls in maritime and 

 upland situations. — Distr. Occurs only here and there sparingly in Great 

 Britain ; not seen from Ireland. — B. M. : Bolt Head and near Torquay,
