17. C. deformis, Hffm. thallus foliaceous, leaflets pale green, 

 inciso-crenate, whitish beneath; podetia 1 — 3 inches, leafless, 

 tubular, sidphureo-pulverident, turgid, simple, scyphiferous, scyphi

The podetia are cylindrical, leafless, thickened upwards, or sometimes turgid 

 and narrowed under the scyphus, and are either entirely pulverulent, or corti- 

 cate at the base, pulverulent above.

18. G. digitata, Hffm. thallus foliaceous at base, leaves small, 

 lobato-crenate, pale green above, white beneath ; podetia ochroleuco- 

 pidverulent, cylindrical, 1 — 2 inches, simple, scyphi narrow, margin 

 digitate-dentate incurved, or dilated and proliferous. 



Mossy woods, rare. 



Podetia sometimes corticate at the base, pulverulent above, sometimes 

 entirely pulverulent, either leafless, or often with a few scattered leaflets, or 

 sometimes leafy at the base, the leaflets diminishing in size upwards. 



Reaction, colour, and incurved margins of scyphi distinguish this from 

 deformis.

Mudd, in his Manual, cites to his digitata E. Bot. t. 1836, which if it were 

 not described as having scarlet apothecia, I should refer to some form of fur- 

 cola. Certainly it does not represent the typical digitata, nor does E, Bot. t. 

 2439, which Hooker quotes as illustrative of digitata, but rather represents var. 

 maeilenta f. polydactyla. Mudd's specimens, 68,69, 70, in his Br. Clad, from 

 the iiicano-pulverulent colour approach maeilenta. 



Var.* maeilenta, Hffm. thallus foliaceous or squamulose ; podetia 



incano-granuloso-pulvemdent, cylindrical, i — 1 in. high, slender, 



simple, sometimes shortly divided at the apex, ascyphous ; apothecia 



terminal, tuberculose.
