420 ENUMERATION OF FUNGI. 
one altogether confluent with the peridium; but even then, 
the distinction between the stem and peridium is marked. 
In the collection are specimens, marked n. 101, which 
agree very closely with the foregoing, though with some 
slight difference. They are much depressed; the stem is 
little more than rudimentary, though still decided spongioso- 
cellular, and the mass of the spores is of a greyish tinge, 
though the form and size are the same. The peridium is 
not cracked, nor is it apparently warty. The specimens are 
not in a sufficiently good state to enable me to form any defi- 
nite opinion about them.

SCOLECIOCARPUS, n. g. 
Peridium commune simplex, tenue, membranaceum, apice 
indeterminate dehiscens. Peridiola minuta, irregulariter 
subcylindrica, gyrosa, tomentosa; sporas longe pedicellatas 
minutas globosas includentia. Subglobosus, stipite brevi 
radicato suberoso suffultus.—Genus Ciliciocarpo, Corde, prox- 
imum, differt peridio communi non evanescenti, peridiolis 
flexuosis elongatis, sporisque globosis stipitatis aliisque notis. 
Nomen dedi ¢ SkwAnxtoy vermiculus, et kapros fructus.

fig. 3). 
On the ground. Uitenhage. January. 
Stem short, springing from a rather strong attenuated 
root, white and almost corky within. Peridium depressed 
subpyriform, 4-1 inch broad, bursting irregularly above, mem- 
branaceous, even subtomentose, ochraceous, very thin and 
brittle, within smooth, minutely wrinkled, rufous and shining 
inthe upper portion, paler below.  Peridiola very minute, 
subvermiform, tomentose, somewhat gyrose, compound or 
simple, pale slate grey, filled with minute, globose, smooth 
spores, each containing a nucleus, and supported by a long 
more or less flexuous, extremely slender peduncle. These 
peduncles are sometimes branched.
