CLADONIA. | CLADONTET, 165 
33. C. deformis Hoffm. Deutsch. Fl. ii. (1795) p. 120.—Thallus 
foliaceo-squamulose at the base; leaflets moderate or somewhat 
large, pale-green above, whitish beneath ; podetia elongate, turgid, 
simple, efoliolose, tubzformi-scyphiferous, sulphureo-pulverulent ; 
scyphi regular or difform, crenato-dentate or irregularly proliferous 
at the margins (Kf+ yellowish, K(CaCl)+yellow). Apothecia dis- 
crete or conglomerate; spores 0,008-10 mm. long, 0,003-4 mm. 
thick.—Cromb. Lich. Brit. p. 21; Leight. Lich. Fl. p. 68, ed. 3, 
p. 63.—Cladonia coceifera 6. deformis Mudd, Man. p. 61, Brit. Clad. 
p. 80. Scyphophorus deformis Sm. Eng. FI. v. p. 244; Gray, Nat. 
Arr. i. p. 442. Cenomyce deformis Hook. Fl. Scot. ii. p. 63. Lichen 
deformis Linn. Sp. Pl. (1753) p. 1152; Eng. Bot. t. 1894.—Lichen 
deformis of Hudson and our older authors is referable to the next 
species.— Brit. Has.: Mudd, n. 25, Clad. n. 68; Bohl. n. 39. 
From var. pleureta of C. cornucopivides, with which it is comparable, 
this is distinguished by the elongate, more turgid, and differently coloured 
podetia. These are sometimes nearly fissured throughout, more or less 
corticate, and when sterile are cornute. The apothecia, which are at 
length conglomerate, are very rare in Great Britain, and are seldom seen 
rightly developed. 
Hab. On the ground among heaths in wooded upland tracts.— Distr’. 
Not very general nor common in W. and N. England, more frequent 
among the Scottish Grampians, especially in Braemar; not seen from 
Treland—B. M.: Hay Coppice, Herefordshire; Guisboro’ Moor and 
Loundsdale, Cleveland, Yorkshire; Windermere, Westmoreland ; Alston, 
Cumberland, Appin, Argyleshire; Craig Calliach and Rannoch, Perth- 
shire; Linn of Dee, Ben-naboord, and Loch Phadrig, Braemar, Aberdeen- 
shire; Rothiemurchus Woods, Inverness-shire; near Forres, Elginshire. 
Form 1. gonecha Nyl. Syn. i. (1860) p. 222. —Podetia longer, 
gradually incrassate upwards from the base; the scyphi dilated, 
irregular, lacero-radiate. Apothecia somewhat large, confluent.— 
Cromb. Grevillea, xi. p. 114.—Beomyces deformis y. gonechus Ach. 
Meth. (1803) p. 335. 
This form is characterized by the larger, turgid podetia, and by the 
irregular form of the scyphi. The only British specimens gathered are 
sterile. 
Hab. On peaty soil amongst stunted heaths on subalpine moorlands.— 
Distr. Very local and rare among the N. Grampians and in the N.W. 
Highlands, Scotland.—B. M.: Ballochbuie Forest, Braemar, Aberdeen- 
shire; Ben Ferrog, Inverness-shire. 
Form 2. pulvinata Nyl. Lich. Scand. (1861) p. 60.—Thallus 
pulvinato-congested at the base, the podetia short, narrow, curvate- 
flexuose and lacero-fissured, substerile.-—Cromb. Grevillea, xv. p. 46. 
—Cenomyce pulvinata Ach. Lich. Univ. (1810) p. 544. 
The small pulvinate basal thallus, consisting of minute imbricate leaf- 
lets, and the less developed, curved, and fissured podetia are the dis- 
tinctive marks of this form, which, however, is connected with the type 
by intermediate states. It is mever seen with the apothecia rightly 
developed.
