Form 1. asotea ifudd, Brit. Clad. (1865) p. 29. — Podetia obco-

This differs in the form of the podetia, which are often phylluphorous, 

 and in the proliti cations of the scyphi, which are sometimes 2-3 repeated, 

 and thus present an analogy to tlio&e of C. sobolifera. As obser\ ed, how- 

 ever, by Acharius, Syn. p. 269, it grows along with the type and probably 

 occurs on the same thallus, so that it can be considered only as a form. 

 In our British specimens the apothecia are generally expanded.

In the prolifications of the scyphi this unites in itself the position of 

 those of the type {e.vtenso) and of form asotea. Its mist characteristic 

 mark is the tlevelopment of the podetial squamnles into folioles on the 

 margins of the scyphi, crowning as it were the usually crowded apotbecia.

 situations. — Distr. Bather local and scarce in X. England, S. Scotland,
