brevibus cylindricis e mycelio caadido inembranaceo oriundis, ramis 

 furcatis hie illic divergentibus, ultimis acutissimis. Spruce, n. 161. 



Hab. Oa dead leaves and twigs. March, 1853. Panure. 



Ochraceous, about half an inch high, forming delicate, tree-like tufts. 

 Stems short, cylindrical, clothed at the base with a little down, and 

 arising from a white, downy, membranous disc, forked two or three 

 times, some of the branches spreading so as to form little tree-like tufts ; 

 ultimate ramuli very acute. 



An extremely pretty species, with the habit of C. fiaccida^ but ap- 

 proaching in substance the white-branched ThelepJiora, though more 

 transparent. At first sight it has somewhat the appearance of T. dis- 

 secta^ Lev., a very differently constructed species.

 Hab. On the ground. Mount Cocui. 

 Two inches high, ochraceous, white, c^espitose, much^ branched ; 



branches cylindrical, tips straight or curved. 



This was first referred as a variety to Clavaria farcellata, but this 

 indication is untenable, and I have therefore described it under a dis- 

 tinct 



name.

Hab. On the ground. March, 1853. Panure. 



White, opaque, 2 inches or more high, caespitose, fastigiate. Stem 

 short, cylindrical, not a line thick, forked five or six times so as to 

 make a tree-like tuft, dilated above, the ultimate divisions somewhat 

 divaricate, the forks below acute, above rounded, ultimate ramuli 

 acute. 



A very singular species, remarkable for its white-washed appearance. 

 The branches, except at the extremities, are far broader than the stem, 

 and strongly compressed when dry. Spruce compares this with n. 601, 

 but the two species do not appear to me to have much in common.
