Though the podetia are usually glabrous, yet when the plant grows at 
high altitudes and in exposed situations they often become subgranulato- 
unequal, as also in the following forms. In the type the podetia are of 
nearly equal thickness throughout, and vary in height from 1-3 inches. 
The apothecia are very rare with us, nor are the spermogones frequent.

Cespitosely pulvinate in habit, and distinguished by the smaller and 
much more branched podetia, which are scarcely 1 in. long. They are 
occasionally “adspersed with a verruceform lepra” Del rugoso-ver-

to be caused by a fungus. Jt is rarely fertile.
