idia fusoid, hyaline, uniseptate, 8-10x2^-3 p. readily separating at 

 the septum. The yellow margin may be only accidental. This differs 

 from H. corticioides, B. & Br.. in its larger sporidia and different 

 color. 



Under side of an old log, Decorah, Iowa (Holway), Ohio (Morgan). 



H. citrinella, Ell. Bull. Torr. Bot. Club. VI, p. 108. (Plate 11) 



Stromata scattered or subcontinent, minute (1-2 mm.), thin-pul- 

 vinate, bright lemon-color, atro-punctate from the minute ostiola. Asci 

 slender. 100-120x5-6 a. Sporidia fusoid, hyaline, uniseptate, uni- 

 seriate, 12-14x3| tt. 



On dead twigs and limbs of Vaccinium corymbosum not yet 

 fallen and not much decayed. 



In the original description, the true character of the sporidia was 

 overlooked, the specimens first found being rather old and the cells of 

 the sporidia separated.

Stromata carnnse. yellowish, digitate, radiating from a central 

 point and dividing into numerous (2 mm. diaui.) semicylindrical, finger- 

 like lobes, closely apprised to and surrounding the matrix and ex- 

 tending longitudinally for about 5 cm. The rounded ends and the 

 sides of the lobes are sterile, the perithecia being found only on the 

 upper or outer surface; perithecia immersed, their position being indi- 

 cated onlv bv prominent but minute black ostiola. Asci cylindrical.

80-90 a long. Sporidia uniseriate, ends mostly overlapping, hyaline, 

 uniseptate, oblong or narrow-elliptical, often subinequilateral, 20-26 x 

 6-8 /2. The stroma is like the fingers of a hand clasping the limb. 

 On a dead limb, White mountains. X. H. (Miss Minns).

H. bicolor, E. & E. Journ. Mycol. IV, p. 58. 



Stromata gregarious or crowded, convex, suborbicular, dull cinere- 

 ous, becoming dull black, attached as in H. Schweinitzii. Fr.. which

when mature it much resembles. Perithecia peripherical, globose, 

 about i mm. diameter, buried in the stroma, which is of a dull 



a 



\vhite color within and has the surface minutely roughened by the 

 punctiform ostiola. Asci cylindrical. 70x5 u. Sporidia uniseriate
