Differs only in the recurved and sorediate apices of the lacinife. As 

 noticed by Acharius I. v. these, in consequence of being ruptured beneath, 

 dilated and inflated, pi-e-ent a pulverulent and verrucose small lip. It is 

 a mere condition, depending on age or nature of habitat, and not a variety ; 

 indeed it is difficiUt to find old specimens of the normal type of the species 

 in which some of the lacinias have not these characters, so that Acharius 

 subsequently (Syn. p. 218) with propriety regarded it as a mere state. 

 The apothecia are for the most part plentiful, becoming large in old age.
