BERKELEY S TYPES OF FUNGI. 519 
Peziza Prrersu, Berk. $ Curt. in Grevillea, iii. (1875) p. 150; 
Cooke, Mycogr. p. 146, fig. 246 ; Sacc. Syll. viii. n. 281. 
Sessile, at first with the margin incurved and closed, finally 
becoming nearly plane, usually waved and irregular, rather fleshy ; 
dise reddish brown, externally pallid and minutely furfuraceous, 
2-5 cm. across; ascophore formed of interwoven hyphe; asci 
cylindrical, apex obtuse, only very slightly narrowed downwards, 
about 200x10 u; spores 8, elliptic-oblong, ends obtuse, con- 
tinuous, hyaline, for a long time smooth, then exceedingly minutely 
asperate, usually 2-guttulate, 10-12 x 5-6 u ; paraphyses slender, 
expanding into a stout clavate or pyriform coloured apex. 
On burnt soil. Alabama (Peters, n. 6063). 
The minute raised points on the epispore are very minute, and 
barely visible under a magnification of 400 diameters. Remark- 
able for the small size of the spores and the much swollen tips 
of the paraphyses. Cooke’s figure, quoted above, is incorrect, 
the paraphyses being cylindrical and not at all thickened at the 
apex. 
PATELLARIA ATRO-FUSCA, Berk. $ Curt. in Grevillea, vol. iv. 
(1875) p. 2. 
Gregarious ; orbicular, margin slightly raised, substance rather 
thick, glabrous, blackish brown, 4-4 mm. diameter; hypothecium 
and excipulum formed of slender interwoven hyaline hyphae, 
which become arranged in a parallel manner in the cortex and 
margin of the ascophore and run out into the thickened brown 
grumous tips to form the exterior; asci clavate, apex rounded, 
wall thickened, and pore of dehiscence deep-blue with iodine, 
often slightly curved, 80-90 x 101; spores 8, obliquely 1-seriate 
below, 2-seriate at the apex of the ascus, hyaline, narrowly 
elliptic-fusiform, straight or slightly curved, finally 3-septate, 
smooth, 16-20x3-4 pu; paraphyses numerous, septate, very 
slender, not at all thickened at the tips. 
Lecanidion atro-fuscum, Sace. Syll. viii. n. 3281. 
On small twigs of Vitis vulpina. Lower Carolina (Ravenel, 
n. 2210). 
Berkeley says, “ springing from a black thin stratum which 
surrounds the twigs”; this stratum is not obvious at the present 
time. Inthe original description the collector’s number is stated 
to be “3210”; this is a slip, the number “2210 " being on the 
ticket. No. 5958, alluded to by Berkeley as probably being a 
young state of the present species, I cannot find.
