Probably rather a subspecies (cfr. Norrl. Medd. Siillsk. pro F. & Fl. 

 Fenn. i. p. 22), differing in the absence of a hypothallus, the colour of 

 the fructification, and in the habitat. The thallus spreads rather exten- 

 sively and the apothecia are numerous, with the thalline margin rarely 

 subpulverulent.

Distinguished as a subspecies by the more developed thallus, its very
