A rather anomalous plant, which, if it does not descend from C. cervi- 
cornis, with which it somewhat agrees in the character of the basal 
squamules, is most probably referable to this species. The apothecia, 
which in the absence of rightly developed podetia are sessile on the leaf- 
lets, are numerous. 
Hab. On the ground among rocks in upland districts.—Distr. Some- 
what local, though not uncommon where it occurs in N. Wales, N. Eng- 
land, 8. Scotland, and among the Grampians. —B. M.: Plinlimmon, Car- 
diganshire ; Dolgelly and Rhewgreidden, Merionethshire ; Bettws-y-Coed, 
Denbighshire; Battersby and Ayton Moors, Cleveland, Yorkshire ; 
Ennerdale, Cumberland. New Galloway, Kirkcudbrightshire; Damyat, 
near Stirling; Craig Calliach and Loch Eagh, Perthshire; Lion’s Face 
and Glen Quoich, Braemar, Aberdeenshire. ; 
b'. Ascyphe.—Podetia not scyphiferous. 
20. C. turgida Hoffm. Deutsch. FL. ii. (1795) p. 124.—Thallus 
foliaceous at the base; leaflets large, laciniiform, variously divided 
and crenate, sometimes few or evanescent, glaucous-green or whitish, 
white beneath ; podetia levigato-corticate, turgid, elongato-turbinate 
or cylindrical, subscyphiferous or perforate at the apices, the margin 
dentato-radiate, glaucous or pale-green (Kf+yellowish, CaCl—), 
Apothecia brownish-red or pale ; spores oblong or oblongo-fusiform, 
0,010-15 mm. long. 0,0035-40 mm. thick.—Cromb. Lich. Brit.

Crypt. (1798) n. 297. 
When rightly developed (for the podetia are occasionally absent), this 
is a very distinct species, which at first sight might be referred to the macro- 
phylline section. As stated, however, by Nylander Se p. 205), its 
true affinity is with C. furcata in the present section. In the only two 
British specimens the podetia are here and there sprinkled with smaller 
leaflets. There are no apothecia present, but the spermogones are abun- 
dant. 
Hab. On the ground among heather in subalpine regions.—Distr. 
Extremely local and scarce among the N. Grampians, Scotland.—B. M.: 
Head of Glen Quoich, Braemar, Aberdeenshire. 
21. C. furcata Hoffm. Deutsch. Fl. ii. (1793) p. 115.—Thallus 
squamulose at the base or evanescent; podetia slender, elongate, 
glabrous, sparingly branched, glaucous-white or brownish-green, 
not perforate or subpervious at the axils, the branches somewhat 
erect, attenuato-subulate and divergenti-furcate at the apices (K—, 
CaCl—). Apothecia small, subglobose, brown or reddish-brown ; 
spores 0,010-13 mm. long, 0,0034-40 mm. thick.—Nyl. Syn. i.
