BERKELEY S TYPES OF FUNGI. 499 
PEZIZA SARMENTORUM, Berk. $ Broome, in Journ. Linn. Soc. 
(Bot.) vol. xvi. (1875) p. 102 ; Cooke, Mycogr. p. 156, fig. 267 ; 
Sacc. Syll. viii. n. 322. 
Gregarious, subgelatinous when moist, thin, entirely ochra- 
ceous (when dry), margin at first ineurved, eventually becoming 
almost plane; dise even, or often rugulose or veined, externally 
minutely pulverulent, sessile, and attached by a broad base, 6-16 
mm. broad ; asci cylindrical, apex rounded, about 260 x 11-12 p ; 
spores 8, narrowly elliptical, ends somewhat narrowed, often 2- 
guttulate, hyaline, smooth, continuous, 16-19 x7-8 pu; para- 
physes slender, scarcely thickened at the apex. 
On twigs and fallen leaf-stalks. Ceylon (Thwaites). 
The substance of the entire ascophore is subgelatinous, and does 
not present, at least after being dried, any definite structure. 
PEzIZA CARBONIGERA, Berk. in Hook. f. Fl. Tasm. ti. p. 274 
(1860); Cooke, Mycogr. p. 19, fig. 29. 
Gregarious, or generally crowded and irregular from mutual 
pressure, sessile and applanate ; subglobose at first, then gra- 
dualy expanding until plane or even slightly convex, often 
undulate ; the disc varies from pale, clear yellow, through orange- 
yellow, to yellowish-brown, or even a tinge of flesh-colour, exter- 
nally paler, extreme margin brownish; rather fleshy, 2-8 mm. 
across; hypothecium and excipulum consisting of interwoven, 
hyaline, septate hyphx, which are swollen into large piriform or 
subglobose cells at intervals, passing into a parenchymatous 
cortex of irregular, polygonal cells, 10-18 u diameter ; these run 
out at the margin into short, septate, obtuse, brown cells; 
numerous brown, or sometimes almost hyaline, septate hyphe 
spring singly or in clusters from the basal cortical cells and fix 
the fungus to the substratum ; asci cylindrical, apex slightly 
truncate, not coloured blue with iodine, about 220 x 14-15 u; 
spores 8, obliquely l-seriate, continuous, hyaline, smooth, ellip- 
tical, ends rather narrowed, usually 2-guttulate, 19-20 x 9-11 u ; 
paraphyses septate, apex clavate or piriform, 6-7 u thick, con- 
taining red granules. 
Humaria carbonigena, Sace. Syll. viii. n. 506. 
On burnt ground, rotten wood, masses of decaying leaves, &c. 
Tasmania (Archer); Melbourne, Australia (Reader, n. 52) 
Britain ( Berkeley).
