474 MR. G. MASSEE—REDESCRIPTIONS OF 
slightly oblique, ends obtuse, smooth, continuous, clear brown, 
translucent, 8-9 x 4 u; paraphyses slender, almost cylindrical. 
On decaying Agarics. Peradeniya, Ceylon (Thwaites, n. 18). 
The present remarkable fungus evidently belongs to the 
Bulgariez, and to the genus Bulgaria, and will afterwards be 
known as Bulgaria agaricicola.

This species is in absolute agreement in every point with the 
following, of which it will stand as a synonym :— 
Peziza patereformis, Berk. in Hook. f. Flor. Tasm. vol. ii. 
p. 276 (1860). 
Helotium patere forme, Sace. Syl. viii. n. 1028 ; Cooke, Austr.

Grevillea, vol. iv. (1875) p. l; Sace. Syll. viii. n. 1011. 
(Pl. XVII. figs. 21, 22.) 
Gregarious or crowded; closed at first, soon plane, finally 
slightly convex, sharply marginate, fleshy, narrowed below into 
& stout short base, glabrous, entirely dingy-orange or tawny 
when dry, 1-1:5 mm. across; hypothecium and excipulum paren- 
chymatous; cortical cells polygonal, ratherlarge; asci clavate, 
apex rather narrowed, not coloured blue with iodine, wall rather 
thick; spores 8, irregularly 2-seriate, hyaline, continuous, 
straight, elliptic-fusiform, ends narrowed, 12-14 x 5 p; paraphyses 
numerous, slender, almost cylindrical. 
On dead wood. Mountains of Upper Carolina (Ravenel, 
n. 4471. Given as n. 470 by Berkeley by mistake). 
Closely allied to Helotium citrinum; distinguished by the 
different structure of the ascophore and the 2-seriate larger 
spores. 
HELOTIUM RHYTIDODES, Berk. & Curt. Cuban Fungi, n. 700, 
in Journ. Linn. Soc. (Bot.) vol. x. (1869) p. 369; Sace. Syll. viii.

Gregarious or scattered ; rather fleshy, sessile, rigid when dry, 
every part coloured alike, varying from yellow to reddish orange; 
closed and globose at first, then expanding, but the extreme 
margin usually more or less upturned, 2-4 mm. across, narrowed
