170 DECADES OF FUNGI. 
347. Calocera spherobasis, n. s.; seruginosa, e tubere globoso cavo 
intus albo cartilagineo exoriens; clavulis simplieibus acutiusculis. 
Hook. fil., No. 106, cum ic. 
Has. On the ground, apparently springing from a twig. Darjeeling, 
7,500 feet. August. Only a single specimen found. 
Verdigris green. Clavule simple, 4 of an inch high, scattered on 
a globose hollow body, which is white within, and of a cartilaginous 
substance, and about 3 of an inch in diameter. The inner portion 
consists of closely packed threads, which form a reticulated mass 
towards the circumference. 
Resembling, at first sight, an inverted Rhizina. I am not at all 
certain that this very curious production belongs to the genus Calocera, 
but I know not where else to place it, and the single specimen shows 
nothing of the fructification. The structure of the external coat is 
more like that of some lichen, but the habit is that of a fungus. 
* Tremella ferruginea, Smith, Eng. Bot. Hook. fil, No. 21, cum ic. 
Has. In mossy and rocky wet places. Tonglo, 10,000 feet. May. 
It might be suspected that, from the peculiar locality, the Himalaya 
species could not be the same as the British, but a comparison with a 
fine specimen sent to me from the Royal Botanie Garden, London, by 
Mr. J. D. C. Sowerby, shows a complete identity of structure, as also 
of colour, habit, and general appearance. 
* Exidia hispidula, Berk. Ann. Nat. Hist. vol. iii. p. 396. 
Has. Attached to a specimen of Pol. hirsutus, No. 28. Darjeeling. 
* E. protracta, Lév., Ann. d. Sc. Nat. Oct. 1844, p. 218. E. Le- 
sueurii, Bory, MSS. Hook fil., No. 82, eum ic. 
Has. On trunks of living trees. Sikkim. Very abundant. June, 
July. 
The underside is very obscurely velvety. The whole plant, when 
fresh, is soft, flabby, and transparent, with the hymenium lacunose. 
I refer the species to Léveillé’s plant, on the authority of a specimen 
from Bory de St. Vincent’s herbarium, which has been pronounced 
identical with that of Léveillé by Dr. Montagne. 
. 848. E. burseformis, n. s.; admodum gelatinosa aquosa bursæformis 
supra lacunosa, subtus subtilissime tomentosa. Hook. fil, No. 22, 
cum ic. ; ; 
Has. Abundant on moss and trunks of trees. Darjeeling, 7,000 - 
10,000 feet. May, July.
