small, crowded.—Cromb. Grevillea, xii. p. 92.—Cladonia inerassata

This apparently descends from C. coccifera, of which it is probably 
only a peculiar and diminutive condition. The podetia are usually about 
2 lines, rarely 3 in. high, with the scvphi either not at all developed or 
very narrow. The apvthecia are numerous, becoming at length more or 
less contluent. - 
Hab. On peaty soil and putrid stumps of trees in mountainous districts. 
—Distr. Found only sparingly in the 8.W. and Central Highlands of 
Scotland.—B. M.: Barcaldine, Argyleshire; Rannoch, Perthshire. 
Subsp. C. pleurota Cromb. Grevillea, xi. (1883) p. 114.—Pode- 
tia turbinato-scyphiferous, pulverulent, yellowish-white or pale- 
greenish ; scyphi dilated, subentire or rarely proliferous at the 
margins. Apothecia solitary, subpedicellate—Cladonia cornuco- 
proides subsp. pleurota Cromb. Lich. Brit. p. 21. Cladonita cornuco- 
pioides form pleurota Leight. Lich. Fl. p. 67, ed.3, p. 62. Cladonia

Though sometimes regarded as a variety of C. deformis, its affinity is 
undoubtedly with C. coccifera, to which it holds a somewhat analogous 
relation as C. fimbriata to C. pyxidata. Since, however, as pointed out 
by Nylander, Lich. Scand. p. 59, it occurs also with the podetia corticate 
at the base, it can scarcely be regarded as a distinct species. The podetia 
in states with larger scyphi have the margin at length sinuate and 
radiate. With us it is only smaller and less typical states that are 
usually seen, and the apothecia are rarely present. 
Hub. On the ground among mosses in shady places, on moorlands, 
and in woods in upland districts.—Distr. Apparently local and scarce in 
S.W. and N. England, the W. and N. Grampians, Scotland, and 8.W. 
Treland.—B. M.: Dartmoor, Devonshire ; St. Breward, Cornwall; Ayton, 
Cleveland, Yorkshire. Barcaldine, Argyleshire; Rannoch, Perthshire ; 
Glen Callater, Braemar, Aberdeenshire. Killarney, co. Kerry. 
32. C. bellidiflora Florke, Clad. (1828) p. 95.—Thallus foliaceo- 
syuamose at the base; leaflets somewhat firm, variously divided or 
crenato-incised, straw-coloured above, white beneath; podetia cor- 
ticate, subsimple, squamoso-foliaceous, cylindrical, or scyphiterous, 
often somewhat ventricose in the middle, straw-coloured or greyish- 
green ; scyphi narrow, sometimes divided when not rightly deve- 
loped (K—, CaCl—). Apothecia somewhat large, often conglo- 
merate; spores 0,009-11 mm. long, about 0,0035 mm. thick.—
