n. 12. 
The much shorter and slender podetia and the narrow scyphi cha- 
racterize this form, which is entirely referable to the above variety. 
With us it is scarcely, if ever, seen fertile. 
Hab. On putrid trunks in upland localities—Distr. Found only in E., 
8.W., Central, and N. England, the W. Highlands, Scotland, and S. Ire- 
land.—B. M.: Epping Forest, Essex; near Bodmin, Cornwall ; Charn- 
wood Forest, Leicestershire ; Cleveland, Yorkshire. Barcaldine, Argyle- 
shire. Castlemartyr, co. Cork. 
Var... carneopallida Nyl. Syn. i. (1860) p. 195.—Podetia mode- 
rate, narrow, scyphiferous, whitish or greenish-white-pulverulent ; 
scyphi narrow, crenate and sometimes proliferous at the margins. 
Apothecia small, pale flesh-coloured.—Cromb. Grevillea, xi. p. 112.—

syn.). : 
Somewhat similar to the preceding. variety, from all states of which it 
differs in the colour of the apothecia. In this respect it approaches to 
C. carneola Fr., with which it has occasionally been confounded. The 
two British specimens seen are only sparingly fertile. 
Hab. On putrid trunks of trees in upland woods,—Distr. Seen only 
from E. England; no doubt to be detected elsewhere——B. M.: Epping 
Forest and Snaresbrook, Essex. 
Subsp. C. fibula Nyl. ea Norrl. Medd. Soc. pro F. et Fl. Fenn. 
(1876) p. 12.—Podetia elongate, slender, simple, subcylindrical, 
white-pulverulent; scyphi narrow or none (K—, CaCl—). Apo- 
thecia small, brown, usually aggregate——Cromb. Grevillea, xi.

The form of the podetia, which are 1-2 in. long, warrant this being 
regarded as a subspecies. In the British specimens the podetia are 
usually ascyphous and well-fertile. From it apparently descend the 
varieties and forms that follow, all of which are connected by inter- 
mediate states. 
Hab. On decaying stumps and on the ground among mosses in wooded 
upland districts—Distr. Gathered only very sparingly in S.W. England, 
S. Scotland, the S.W. Highlands, and among the S. Grampians.—B. M. : 
Dartmoor, Devonshire. New Galloway, Kirkcudbrightshire ; Barcaldine, 
Argyleshire ; Glen Lochay, Killin, Perthshire. 
Form abortiva Cromb. Grevillea, xi. (1883) p. 112.—Podetia 
elongate, rather thicker, white-pulverulent, obtuse or obscurely 
scyphiferous at the apices; scyphi subcrenate and somewhat dila-
