BERKELEY'S TYPES OF FUNGI. 97 
slender, not thickened at the apex; cortex very dense, formed of 
blackish hexagonal cells 14-16 diameter, becoming smaller 
towards the margin. 
Mollisia miltophthalama, Sace. Syll. viii. n. 1885, 
On dead branches of Cornus flavida. S. Carolina (Ravenel, 
n. 2474), 
Berkeley says ‘“‘hymenium vermillion”; but in the fairly 
abundant type-material in the Kew Herbarium f find it as 
described above, and it is difficult to conceive that it could ever 
have been red. 
Peziza (Mottista) ontvaceo-LuTeA, Berk. in Grevillea, iv. 
(1875) p. 159. (PI. 5. figs. 19, 20.) 
Ascophore erumpent, then becoming quite superficial and 
attached by a small point, remaining more or less concave, 
glabrous, externally blackish-olive; dise pale yellow, 3-3 mm. 
across ; asci cylindric-clavate, apex slightly narrowed, pore blue 
with iodine, pedicel very short, 50-60 x 7-8 ; spores 8, irregu- 
larly 2-seriate, continuous, hyaline, cylindric-fusiform, straight, 
14-17 x 8-3°5 w ; paraphyses filiform. 
Mollisia olivaceo-lutea, Sace. Syll. viii. n. 1373 (1889). 
On dead leaves. Lower Caroliua (Ravenel, un. 1204). 
This is not a good Mollisia ; the cortex consists of sparsely 
septate, parallel hyphw of a dark colour radiating from base to 
margin, where they become paler; a structure agreeing with that 
of Pseudopeziza, in which genus the species should henceforth be 
placed. 
Peziza (Moxtista) exiprenua, Berk. & UM. A, Curt. in 
Grevillea, iii. (1875) p- 158. (Pl. 4. figs. 26, 27.) 
Gregarious, discoid, and with a very minutely raised margin 
when moist, thin, soft, and somewhat gelatinous ; when dry the 
margin is raised and wavy, and the substance rigid, about + mm. 
across; glabrous, disc yellow-rufous, becoming dingy purple- 
brown or blackish when dry ; hypothecium and excipulum 
minutely parenchymatous, cortical cells 5-8 diameter ; a 
narrowly clavate, apex narrowed, not blue with iodine, pedicel 
slender, about 45 x6 3 spores 8, oblig uely 1-seriate, continuous, 
hyaline, narrowly elliptic-oblong, 5-6 X 19 p ; paraphyses slender, 
tips clavate, or in some instances scarcely thickened. 
Pezizella exidiella, Sace. Syll. viii. n. 1200.
