Closely allied to C. bacillaris, from which it is distinguished by the 
glabrous corticate podetia, which are often blackish at the base. It is 
almost always abundantly fertile, and the fine scarlet, often confluent 
apothecia render it one of our most beautiful species. 
Hab. On peaty ground in subalpine mountainous moorlands.—Disir. 
Local and rare in its typical state, having been found only in a few places 
in the Scottish Highlands and 8.W. Iveland.—B. M.: Acbrosagan Hill, 
Appin, Argyleshire ; Craig Calliach, Perthshire; Head of Glen Callater, 
Braemar, Aberdeenshire. Killarney, co. Kerry. 
Form trachypoda Nyl. ea Cromb. Journ. Bot. 1876, p. 360.— 
Podetia rather shorter, more or less verrucoso-squamulose.—Cromb.

keana var. bacillaris Leight. pro parte.—Brit. Hvs.: Mudd, Clad. 
un. 71; Larb. Lich. Hb. n. 84. 
Usually not rightly distinguished from the type, this differs in the 
podetia being either partly verrucose or entirely squamulose. _Interme- 
diate states, however, in which the squamules are but sparingly present 
(though probably from abrasion), are frequent in herbaria. 
Hab. On the ground, generally on peaty soil in upland and subalpine 
mountainous regions.— Distr. Not unfrequent in Great Britain and Ire- 
land; very abundant among the Scottish Grampians.—B. M.: Epping 
Forest, essex; Leith Hill, Surrey; Dartmoor, Devonshire; Bardon
