1. 



sum ratnoso ; minis hie illic congestis connatisque, apicibus subacutis. 

 Spruce, n. 10. 



Hab. On sbady ground in woods: Panure, 



Dirty white, 2 inches high. Stem rather long, compounded of many 

 confluent divisions ; branches above more free, but here and there di- 

 lated and congested, tips rather acute. 



This species, on a small scale, has somewhat the habit of C. macropm. 

 In all parts however the divisions, instead of being free, have a ten- 

 dency to coalesce with each other. There is a little white mycelium 

 which binds toscether the sand. 



/ 



lilacina rugosa, apicibus obtusis. Spruce, n. 152. 



Hab. On sandy ground. Panure. 



Tufted, 1| inch high, rather thick, simple or slightly forked, brownish- 

 lilac, obtuse, rugose, sometimes splitting longitudinally in the middle. 



A fine species, remarkable for its lilac tint. It resembles somewhat 

 Clavaria purpurea, but is probably tougher when fresh. 



* C. crispula, Pr. Ep. p, 576. Spruce, n. 160, 162, 



Hab. Panure. 



611. C. Sprucei, n. s. ; alutacea; stipitibus tenuibus glabris e basi 

 contexta merabranacea byssoidea oriundis sursum 3-4-furcatis ; ra- 

 mulis cylindricis substrictis, apicibus obtusis. Spruce, n. 26. 



Hab. On decayed trunks and branches. Panure. 



About 1^ inch high, gregarious but not cpespitose, tan-coloured. 

 Stems slender, smooth, springing from a white, membranous, somewhat 

 byssoid expansion, tlii'ee, or rarely four, times forked ; branches erect 

 or only subpatent, cylindrical, tips obtuse. 



This resembles somewhat scattered and slightly branched specimens of 

 Clavaria flaccida, especially a form of it, which does not grow in pine 

 woods, from which however it is very distinct. 



612. C. FanurensU, n, s. I aureo-ochracea ; stipitibus tenuibus 4-5- 



furcatis ; ramulis erectis hie illic lunatis, ultimis teretibus acutis. Spruce, 

 n. 156. 



Hab. On the ground. Panure. 



Bright ochraceous, about 2 inches high. Stems slender, distinct or 

 split almost to the base, forked four or five times ; branches erect or 

 only slightly patent, sometimes lunate, ultimate branches elongated, 

 cylindrical, acute, rarely bifid above.
