BERKELEYS TYPES OF FUNGI. 518 
drical, apex rounded, not blue with iodine, narrowed below into 
a long pedicel ; spores 8, obliquely 1-seriate, hyaline, continuous, 
at length coarsely warted, elliptical, ends pointed, sometimes 
slightly ineequilateral, 30 x 12-15 u; paraphyses slender, septate, 
slightly thickened at the tip. 
Lachnea geneospora, Sacc. Syll. viii. n. 720. 
On rotten wood. Sinchul, India ; 8000 ft. (Dr. Hooker). 
A well-marked species, characterized by the large elliptic- 
fusiform, coarsely warted spores. 
PEZIZA STYGIA, Berk. § Curt. N. Amer. Fung. n. 720, in Gre- 
villea, vol. iii. (1875) p. 153; Cooke, Mycogr. p. 60, fig. 105. 
Ascophore turbinate, closed at first, then expanding, rather 
fleshy, entirely black, disc with an olive tinge; externally some- 
what hispid, due to the presence of brown, septate, blunt hyphe 
which are flexuous and variously curled, 70-100 x 6-8 p, 1-1°5 cm. 
across; stem more or less elongated, rooting, strigose; hypo- 
theeium and excipulum formed of thin, interwoven, hyaline hyphe 
which pass into a brown-celled parenchymatous cortex from which 
the external hairs spring ; asci cylindrical, apex rounded and not 
blue with iodine, wall thick, 8-spored; spore l-seriate, hyaline, 
smooth, globose, wall thick, 11-12 y diameter ; paraphyses slender, 
slightly thickened and curved at the tip. 
Pseudopeziza stygia, Sace. Syll. viii. n. 667. 
Damp ground among mosses. Lower Carolina, U.S.A. 
(Ravenel, n. 2971). 
Very closely allied to Peziza nigrella, Pers., differing mainly in 
the smaller size of the ascophore. Peziza melena, Fr., differs 
from both in being glabrous externally. 
PEZIZA TRECHISPORA, Berk. $ Broome, in Ann. 4 Mag. Nat. 
Hist. vol. xviii. (1846) p. 77; Cooke, Mycogr. p. 72, fig. 129. 
(Pl. XVI. figs. 20, 21.) 
Scattered, sessile, subglobose and closed at first, soon becoming 
quite plane and adpressed to the substratum, rather fleshy, 
1-1 cm. across; dise varying from orange-red to crimson ; exter- 
nally paler, and clothed with stout, septate, thick- walled, acute, 
brown hairs, the marginal ones best developed, 200-350 x 8-12 u, 
base of hairs often more or less swollen or branched; cortical 
cells large, polygonal; asci large, cylindrical, apex rounded, 8- 
spored; spores 1-seriate, globose, hyaline, wall thick, for a long
