416 ENUMERATION OF FUNGI: 
coloured. Hymenium cinnamon-coloured; pores very mi- 
nute, punctiform, rhubarb-coloured within, rather short. 
Allied on the one hand to Pol. gilvus, which is, however, 
clearly of a softer consistence, when fresh, like Pol. dryadeus, 
and on the other, to Pol. Ribis and Pol. rubiginous, Berk. | 
18. Thelepora hirsuta, Willd. Zeyher, n. 121, 122. 
On decayedand charred wood, in the forests near Uitenhage. 
In the specimen n. 121, the hymenium has a cinereous 
tinge, but I do not consider it distinct. Both, however, 
are in very bad condition. No. 122 is decidedly T. ^irsuta. 
19. Clavaria miniata, n. s. ; parva cinnabarina, stipite tenui 
attenuato in clavulam palmato-subifidam compressiusculam 
sursum incrassato. Zeyher, n. 47. 
On sandy ground, amongst minute mosses. Uitenhage. 
August. | 
About 4 an inch high. This species resembles most Cla- 
varia paludicola, Libert, n. 322, with which it agrees in stature 
and habit. The colour, however, of that, when fresh, is 
yellow, and when dry, orange; this, when fresh, is of the 
colour of cinnabar, and becomes pale when dry. Madame 
‘Libert’s plant grows on sunny marshes, this on sandy soil. 
I know of no other species with which it can be compared. 
19. Peziza (Al. H umaria) epitricha, n. S. 5 conferta, sessi- 
lis ; cupulà planiusculá utrinque rubra extus rugulosá, fibrillis 
ramosis fuscis insidente, Zeyher, n. 58. - 
On charred wood. Uitenhage. July. 
Cups crowded, “ dark red,” nearly plane when moist, con- 
eave when dry, externally rugulose from the pentagonal cells, 
seated on a branched, articulated, brown mycelium. Asci 
filiform, containing eight sporidia, each with two globose spo- 
ridiola ; paraphyses linear clavate. 
This species has the habit of Peziza brunnea and melaloma, 
but the external surface of the cups is naked. It has also a 
great resemblance to Peziza araneosa. 
20. Spheeria Graminis, Pers. Zeyher, n. 83. 
Var. Ehrharte, Berk. maculis subrotundis ; ; ascis medio 
"tumidis.
