NOTICES OF BRAZILIAN FUNGI. 641 
mago, with the symbol var? Elongatum, Mont. Dr. Mon- 
tagne, is now however, satisfied that it is not only distinct, but 
that it belongs to the genus Antennaria, as characterised by 
Link and Fries, and as there is no satisfactory analysis, he has 
kindly transmitted sketches and specimens, with a view to the 
publication of the species under the name of Antennaria Ro- 
dinsonii, Mont. and Berk., together with Antennaria pannosa, 
of which it has very much the habit, but the filaments are far 
more slender, and some of the articulations are moniliform, 
while in perfect specimens of A. pannosa all are cylindrical, 
or nearly so. I have little doubt that the capsules in A. pan- 
nosa are at first lateral, but I have not seen this with suffi- 
cient precision to allow of my giving a representation. The 
characters of Ant. Robinsoniüi then, will stand as follows :— 
thallo pannoso expanso; fibris tenuissimis elongatis ramosis ; 
articulis qualibus moniliformibusve; sporis lateralibus. 
Itis not necessary to compare the fructifying fibres with 
Pleuropyzis, which they greatly resemble in general habit, 
but the contents of the capsule in that genus are quite dif- 
ferent.

ing the perfect erect branched fibres, and the more procum- 
bent young moniliform fibres at their base.

mosing mycelium, highly magnified.

ing the usual state of the fibres, and one in which all the 
upper articulations are moniliform. 
b. ramuli with peridia, which are mostly lateral, but often - 
arise from a swollen articulation. cud
