Nylander’s fungus—P. asperior—is identical with the pre- 
viously described P. trechispora, Berk. I stated in my ‘ Fungus- 
Flora,’ vol. iv. p. 293, that P. trechispora was distinguished from 
P. asperior by having the epispore covered with a raised network, 
and not warted; this, however, proves to be a mistake, the epi- 
spore in P. trechispora being distinctly warted at maturity. 
PEZIZA TURBINELLA, Berk. Dec. Fung. n. 358, in Hook. Kew 
Journ. Bot. vol. iii. (1851) p. 204. (Pl. XVIII. figs. 11, 12.) 
Seattered or gregarious, turbinate, stipitate, glabrous, alto- 
gether j-i mm. high, the ascophore gradually narrowing into 
the slender stem; dise gradually expanding until plane or slightly 
convex, white or with a tinge of yellow, horny and pellucid when. 
dry ; stem composed of parallel septate hyphe which pass upwards 
and form the cortex; asci narrowly cylindric-clavate, apex slightly 
pointed, the pore of dehiscence blué with iodine, tapering below 
into a very slender pedicel, about 140 x 7 u; spores needle-shaped, 
arranged in a parallel fascicle in the ascus, 70x 1 p; paraphyses 
humerous, very slender, apex not thickened except in those 
paraphyses nearest to the cortex, which are pyriform at the: 
apex.
