f. 19 o.— Brit. Hxs.: Mudd, Clad. n. 70; Bohl. n. 80. 
From C. macilenta (typical), to which it is similar and with which it 
has usually been confounded, this species is at once separated by the 
absence of any reaction with K. In other respects it differs in the 
podetia being more slender and granuloso-pulverulent. Our British 
specimens are but rarely well fertile. 
Hab. On the bare ground and turf-walls in upland situations.—-Distr. 
Seen only from a few localities in 8. England, the Scottish Grampians, 
and N.W. Ireland.—B.M.: Bournemouth, Hampshire; Wadebridge, 
Cornwall. Appin, Argyleshire; Glen Lochay and Rannoch, Perthshire ; 
Hills at Nigg, Kincardineshire; Castleton of Braemar, Aberdeenshire. 
Near Kylemore, co. Galway. 
Form pityropoda Nyl. ea Cromb. Grevillea, xi. (1883) p. 115.— 
Podetia somewhat thick, granuloso-rugose, simple or shortly divided 
at the apices. 
This form, which is distinguished by the thicker and coarsely granulose 
podetia, is analogous to var. seabrosa of Cl. macilenta. Our British spe- 
cimens are for the most part well-fruited. 
Hab. On the ground and turf-walls in upland tracts.—Distr. Local 
and scarce in N. England, among the Grampians, Scotland, and in N. 
Treland.—B. M.: Kildale Moor, Cleveland, orkshire. Appin, Argyle- 
shire; Rannoch, Perthshire. Colin Glen, near Belfast, co. Antrim ; Con- 
nemara, co. Galway. 
Var. 3. subcoronata Nyl. ex Cromb. Grevillea, xii. (1854) p. 92. 
—Podetia thickish, granulato-squamulose, somewhat simple or digi- 
tately branched towards the apices.—Coralloides ramulosum, tuber- 
culis coccineis Dill. Muse. 96, t. 15. f. 19 a, n.—Lichen digitatus pro 
parte as it appears of our older authors.—Brit. Evs.: Mudd, Clad. 
n. 72 pro parte. 
Differs in the podetia being more or less squamulose and often digi- 
tately divided, so that it has a considerable resemblance to states of var. 
eee of the preceding species. The British specimens seen are well 
fertile. 
Hab. On the ground in upland moorlands —Distr. Local and rare in 
S.W. and N. England, among the S. Grampians, Scotland, and in N.W. 
Ireland ; no doubt overlooked elsewhere—B. M.: Near Hunter Tor, 
Dartmoor, Devonshire; St. Breward, Cornwall; Ingleby Park, Cleve- 
land, Yorkshire. Glen Lochay, Killin, Perthshire. Letter Hill, Conne- 
mara, co. Galway. 
37. C. Floerkeana Fr. Sched. Crit. iii. (1824) p. 18.—Thallus 
squamulose at the base; squamules small, inciso-lobed or crenate, 
greenish-white above, white beneath, often evanescent; podetia 
cylindrical, slender, corticate, glabrous, simple or shortly divided at 
the apices, greyish-white, greyish-green or brownish (K—, CaCl—), 
Apothecia moderate, usually conglomerate; spores 0,008-10 mm. 
long, 0,003 mm. thick.—Cromb. Grevillea, xi. p. 115, Lich. Brit.
