not black, externally tinged yellowish-green; asci slightly 
broader, spores shorter and thicker, and in all the specimens I 
have examined continuous; always growing on bark or wood of 
conifers. Hence Peziza Ellisiana, Rehm, must stand as a 
species distinct from P. lachnoderma, Berk., with the following 
synonymy :—
