Closely allied to C. haciUaris, from -which it is distinguished by the 

 glabrous corticate podetia, wliich are often blackish at the base. It is 

 almost always abundantly fertile, and the fine scarlet, often conflueut 

 apothecia render it one of our most beautiful species. 



Hah. On peaty ground in subalpine mountainous moorlands. — Dififr. 

 Local and rare in its typical state, having been found only in a few places 

 in the Scottish Highlands and S.W. Ireland. — B. M. : Acbrosagan Hill,

Lsually not rightly distinguished from the type, this differs in the 



Sodetia being either partly verrucose or entirely squamulose. Internie- 

 iate states, however, in which the squamules are but sparingly present 

 (though probably from abrasion), are frequent in herbaria. 



Hab. On the ground, generally on peaty soil in upland and subalpine 

 mountainous regions. — Distr. Nut unfrequent in Great Britain and Ire- 

 laud ; very abimdant among the Scottish Grampians. — B. M. : Epping
