Well distinguished by its general habit and the squamulose podetia, 
which are occasionally, however, somewhat slender (form tenuior Cromb.). 
By Acharius and others it was regarded as a distinct species; but it is 
scarcely entitled to rank otherwise than as a subspecies or probably only 
as a variety of C. furcata. In this country the apothecia seem to be 
rare.

The more or less densely squamulose podetia and their recurved apices 
are the characteristics of this form. In a very young state it sometimes 
occurs with the basal thallus well-developed and the podetia very short. 
In our specimens the apothecia are seldom seen.

upland situations.— Distr. Occurs only here and there sparingly in Great 
Britain ; not seen from Ireland—B. M.: Bolt Head and near Torquay,
