BERKELEY S TYPES OF FUNGI. 493 
these pass into a brownish large-celled parenchymatous cortex, 
densely clothed with straight, stout, cylindrical, blunt, septate 
hyphe, which often spring from an inflated basal cell, clear 
brown, tip often paler, 8300-400 x 14-20 u ; asci cylindrical, apex 
rounded, 8-spored ; spores 1-seriate, continuous, hyaline, smooth, 
often guttulate, elliptical, ends narrowed, 28-32 x 12 u; para- 
physes stout, septate, the clavate tips brownish.

On the ground. Pennsylvania, U.S.A. (Michener, n. 3936); 
Alabama ( Peters, n. 6075). 
Closely allied to Peziza rhytidia, Berk., distinguished by the 
thicker hyphe of the excipulum, and the straight, much longer 
and stouter hairs on the surface; also the much thicker, brown 
paraphyses. 
Prziza ($ MOLLISIA) BRASSIÆCOLA, Berk. in Grevillea, vol. ii. 
(1875) p. 157. (Pl. XVIII. fig. 25.) 
Gregarious ; rather thin, soft closed at first, then expanding 
until saucer-shaped, often wavy, sessile, glabrous, everywhere 
rufous to chestnut-brown, 1-2 mm. diameter; excipulum con- 
sisting of a small-celled parenchymatous tissue; asci cylindrical, 
apex rounded, not blue with iodine, 70-75 X8 u; spores 8, 
obliquely or vertically 1-seriate, hyaline, continuous, smooth, 
elliptical, ends obtuse, usually 1-guttulate, 9-10 x 6-7 u; para- 
physes slender, not thickened at the tips. 
Pezizella brassiecola, Sace. Syll. n. 1176. 
On dead cabbage-stems. New England, U.S.A. (Sprague, 
n. 5407). 
The present species is a true Mollisia, as indicated by Berkeley. 
Saccardo’s genus Pezizella cannot possibly stand other than as a 
section of Mollisia, from which it only differs in the clear bright 
colour of the ascophore, and even this one feeble generic character 
merges into Mollisia, as restricted by Saccardo. 
Peziza (Š Morris) Taxonpir Berk. in Grevillea, vol. iv.

Scattered or gregarious, sessile, somewhat erumpent, seated
