Note: | The var. descendens is different from the var. fruticulosa in the spore size and forms of sporophores. Spore diameter of the var. fruticulosa is larger (6-7 × 10-13 μm), and the sporophores are branched and dendroid. The cylindrical form (not branched) of sporophore is distinct in the var. descendens. | |||
