140 DECADES OF FUNGI. 
The specimens differ from the European in being “ subtranslucent,” 
but I cannot doubt that it is the same species. 
399. Lachnocladium Hookeri, n. s., mycelio tuberoso ; stipite crasso 
rubente sursum diviso in ramos crassos ; ramulis brevibus irregularibus 
apice emarginatis. Hook. fil., Ser. 3, No. 36. 
Has. Khassya mountains. 
Inodorous, dry, opake, velvety. Mycelium tuberous, several inches 
thick. Stem 1} inch high, nearly an inch thick, tinged with red, di- 
lated above and divided into two or three coarse, ochraceous or dirty- 
yellow branches, which give off short, irregular branchlets of the same 
colour, and are sometimes trifid above. All the ultimate ramuli are 
emarginate. 
Distinguished from all other described species by its very thick main 
branches. The mycelium too is very remarkable. ` 
* Clavaria Botrytis, P. Hook. fil., Ser. 3, No. 37. Var. concolor. 
Has. Khassya mountains. 1850. 
This agrees with C. Botrytis, except that the tips of the branches 
are not darker. It is a true Clavaria, being fleshy and brittle when 
fresh. ; ; 
* C. formosa, P. Hook. fil., Ser. 3, No. 38. 
Has. Khassya mountains. 1850. 
Exactly agreeing in colour with the plant of Holmskiold. 
* C. stricta, P. Hook. fil., Ser. 3, No. 39. 
Has. Khassya mountains. 1850. 
400. Clavaria miltina, n. s.; gregaria, fragilis; clavis cavis simplici- 
bus acutissimis coccineis. Hook. fil., Ser. 3, No. 3. 
Has. On rotten timber in wet woods. Kala-Panee. Khassya 
mountains, 5000 feet. June 27, 1850. 
Inodorous, dry, opake, smooth, brittle. Gregarious, 3 inches’ high, 
2-3 lines thick, erect, undulated and rugose, sometimes a little incras- 
sated at the base, extremely acute, simple at the apex, or slightly 
divided, hollow, bright scarlet. 
This very curious species has somewhat the habit of Calocera, but 
its dry, opake, brittle substance at once removes it from that genus. 
It cannot be confounded with any published species,
