78. Trichia chrysosperma. Hull. 



Sporangia in the typical form gathered in clusters, sessile ; elaters 

 cylindrical, usually -0083 mm. diam., exceptionally only '005 mm., 

 diain. terminating in a smooth end, which is straight or slightly bent, 

 scarcely as long as the diameter of the elaters; spirals four to five, 

 thin but little prominent ; between every two neighbouring spirals 

 running parallel to the walls of the elater are thinner ridges unit- 

 ing them like bridges ; spores globose, provided with a thickened 

 network, *0017-'0026 mm. high, with polygonal meshes; diameter 

 of spores, 'Ol-'OlOH mm. without, or '0125-'015 mm. including 

 the thickness of the projecting network. Rtfki. Mon., 255.
