BERKELEY'S TYPES OF FUNGI. 109 
8. Carolina (no collector’s name) ; Newfield, N. Jersey, U.S.A. 
(Ellis). 
The colours given above are from the dried plant, and may in 
all probability require modification when described from living 
material. The fungus evidently belongs to Saccardo’s genus 
Helotiella, and will stand as HELOTIELLA AUREO-COCCINEA. 
PaTELEARIA LURIDA, Berk. & M. A. Curt. in herb. (Pl. 4. 
figs. 8-10.) 
Gregarious or crowded, sometimes confluent, erumpent ; dise 
plane, often slightly wrinkled, dingy grey then blackish, persist- 
ently surrounded by the raised and torn epidermis, circular or 
somewhat irregular, up to } mm. across; hypothecium and 
excipulum formed of very slender, interwoven hyphae, which 
pass into a dark-coloured, indistinctly parenchymatous cortex ; 
asci clavate, gradually tapering downwards into a long, slender 
pedicel, apex rounded, not at all blue with iodine, 110-120 x 15; 
spores 8, irregularly 2-seriate, hyaline, continuous, narrowly 
elliptic-oblong, ends obtuse, straight or very slightly curved, 
14-16 x 4,4; paraphyses slender, not thickened upwards. 
On young branches of Acer rubrum. Pennsylvania, U.S.A. 
(n. 3815). 
Not previously described, so far as I am aware, although the 
herbarium material is in excellent condition. The specimens 
are marked “ Cenangium” by Curtis, but the species must stand 
as PATINELLA LURIDA. 
PatELLARIA RecIsa, Berk. § M. A. Curt. in Cooke's Syn. 
Disc. U.S, pt. ii., in Bull. Soc. Nat. Sci. Buff iii. p. 21 (1875). 
This species proves to be identical with Vibrissea Guernisact, 
Crouan. 
On small branches. New England (Frost); Boston (Murray, 
n. 6231). 
Parernarra CONGREGATA, Berk. S M. A. Curt. MS. in herb. 
Berk. 
On oak. Pennsylvania (Michener, n. 4308). ; 
This species is a synonym of Durella compressa, Tul. The 
name may possibly be published somewhere, although I have not 
hitherto found it. 
Ceyaxarum concrynum, Berk. & M.A. Curt. in Grevillea, iv. 
(1875) p.5. (PI. 4. figs. 35, 36.) 
Gregarious, sessile, glabrous, substance rather thick and firm,
