Distinguished by the subpulvinate thallus, which in its smaller states 
is often almost covered by the confluent soredia. With us it is never 
seen fertile. 
Hab. On trees, pales, barn-doors, occasionally on rocks and stones, in 
maritime and upland tracts.—Distr, Local, though plentiful where it 
cecurs, throughout England; very rare in 8. Scotland.—B. M.: Near

Lyndhurst, New Forest, Hants; near Penzance, Cornwall; Gopsall, 
Leicestershire. Salisbury Crags, Edinburgh.

reticulato-rugose, or reticulato-scrobiculose, or thiuly rugulose and 
partly plane, compressed, subopaque, Yariously laciniate, whitish or 
greenish straw-coloured; lacinie difform and variously divided, 
more or less soredioso-lacerate (medulla K—). Apothecia moderate, 
concave or somewhat plane, pale-testaceous or pale-glaucous, the 
receptacle rugose beneath; spores oblovg, slightly curved, 0,010-15

The thallus is somewhat soft and often pliciform from rugosity. It 
varies considerably in size as well as in the breadth and divisions of the 
lacinie. The apothecia occur sparingly in this country, and the spermo-~ 
gones, which are not frequent, are somewhat scattered, with spermatia 
0,003-4 mm. long, scarcely 0,001 mm. thick. 
Hab. On the trunks of old trees, chiefly oaks, in wooded upland dis- 
tricts.—Distr. General and common in 8. and W. England and S. and E. 
Ireland; rare in the Channel Islands; not seen from Scotland.—B. M. :

Apparently distinct, with a simple, leaf-like thallus. It has the same 
relation to the type as the analogous form of var. ampliata has to
