BERKELEY'S TYPES OF FUNGI. 467 
less wrinkled; white, becoming horn-colour with age and when 
dry, 2-4 mm. broad, up to 5 mm. high; entire substance of asco- 
phore composed of very slender, interwoven hyphæ; asci cylin- 
dric-clavate, apex rounded and the wall very slightly thickened 
at this point, not at all blue with iodine, about 160 x 12 p ; spores 
8, obliquely 1-seriate, continuous, hyaline, smooth, narrowly 
elliptic-fusiform, often slightly curved, 28-33 X 5-6 p ; paraphy ses 
very slender, not thickened at the tips. 
Ombrophila decolorans, Saec. Syll. viii. n. 2538. 
On decayed oak-wood. Alabama (Peters, n. 5222). 
Very remarkable in the genus Ombrophila on account of its 
white colour when fresh. 
Sricrrs (Š PROPOLIS) MacvuLARIS, Berk. $ Curt. in Journ. 
Linn. Soc. ( Bot.) vol. x. (1869) p. 371. 
Gregarious, forming a small, whitish ring round each asco- 
phore; elliptical, rarely subglobose, bordered by the torn and raised 
epidermis of the host-plant; dise pallid, up to 1 mm. long; asci 
narrowly clavate, tapering below into a slender pedicel, apex 
slightly narrowed, the minute apical plug alone blue with 
iodine, about 65 x 5-6 u; spores hyaline, continuous, filiform, 
45 X 1 p, arranged in a parallel fascicle, which is slightly twisted 
on its axis; paraphyses filiform, not at all thickened upwards, 
often with short branchlets near the apex. 
Nemacyclus macularis, Saec. Syll. viii. n. 2879. 
Exsicc. Fungi Cub. Wrightiani, n. 711. 
On leaves of Cyperus sp. Cuba (Wright, n. 748). 
The excipulum is obsolete, hence there is no proper margin, 
the sunk dise being at first covered and protected by the 
epidermis of the leaf on which it is growing, and which is finally 
ruptured, forming a spurious border. 
Minoris vERRUCULOSA, Berk. d Curt. in Journ. Linn. Soc. 
(Bot.) vol x. (1869) p. 370; Gard. Chron. 1878, p. 769, 
fig. 134 ; Sace. Syll. viii. n. 2298. 
This species is identical with Midotis heteromera, Mont., Syll. 
Crypt. n. 642 (1856). Authentic specimen from Montagne 
examined. 
Large coneatenate cells are present in the excipulum, which 
suggest the gonidia of a lichen, but owing to age and poisoning 
for preservation the green colour, if ever present, has completely
