cerate. Apothecia not seen.—Cladonia pyxidata y. fimbriata k. 
abortiva Mudd, Brit. Clad. p.11. Scyphophora fimbriata y. abortiva 
Gray, Nat. Arr. i. p. 420. Capitularia pywxidata 6. longipes B.

Seems to be only a form of this subspecies, next to which it was 
placed by Acharius, Syn. p.255. It is distinguished chiefly by the apices 
of the podetia and by being always sterile. In the British specimens the 
scyphi are not well developed, and only a few spermogones are visible,

Distinguished from C. fibula by the form of the apices of the ascyphous 
odetia. In this it closely resembles states of C. cornuta, with which it 
as often been confounded, but is distinguished by the podetia being 
pulverulent throughout. Only spermogones are present in our specimens, 
Hab. On the ground among mosses in upland districts.—Distr. Appa- 
rently not very common in Great Britain and Ireland—B. M.: Epping

Form 1. nemoxyna Nyl. ew Cromb. Grevillea, xi. p. 112.—Podetia 
slender, branched; branches divided, subuliform. Apothecia not 
seen.— Cladonia pyxidata e. cornuta 1. nemoxyna Mudd, Brit. Clad.

Differs in the subuliformi-branched podetia, with the branches usually 
of unequal length. It occurs only spermogoniiferous. 
Hab. On the ground among heaths in upland tracts.— Distr. Local and 
scarce in I, and N. England and among the 8. Grampians, Scotland ; 
probably to be detected elsewhere.—B. M.: Epping Forest, Essex ; 
Ayton Moor, Cleveland, Yorkshire, Killin, Perthshire. 
Form 2. tortuosa Nyl. ex Cromb. Grevillea, xi. (1883) p. 112.— 
Podetia somewhat stout, flexuose, divaricately branched ; branches 
short, subulate, or thickened and obtuse at the apices.—Cladonia
