less broadly reflected, tan-coloured, sericeous, and marked with 

 raised lines ; pores -^-^ inch across, angular, white, acquiring a 

 slight tint like that of the pileus in drying. 



This species has somewhat the habit of P. amorphus, but is 

 not of so fleshy a texture. Specimens have been submitted to 

 Fries, who says that he is unacquainted with the species, and I 

 have therefore no hesitation in proposing it as new.

 On dead sycamore. Wothorpe, M. J. B. 



The full-grown plant is just like authentic specimens from 

 Fries ; the young plant, however, is not at all brick-coloured, but 

 variously tinted with fugitive shades of lilac and brown. It must 

 therefore be considered, for the present, as a remarkable variety. 



810. Tremella frondosa, Bull. t. 499. f. T; Fr. Ep. p. 588. 

 At the base of a living oak-tree. Wothorpe, M. J. B. 



Perhaps the finest of our Tremella, and, when fresh, of a 

 peculiar pale pinkish yellow.

812. Phoma eriophorum, n. s. Peritheciis globosis liberis, 

 primum pallidis, demum nigrescentibus, deorsum tomentosis 

 e mycelio similari oriundis. 



On Spanish chestnuts, C. E. B. 



Perithecia at first white, globose, clothed more or less with 

 white or yellowish cottony down, like that of the mycelium from 

 which they spring ; at length dark ; but when seen by trans- 

 mitted light, reddish. Spores very abundant, white, slightly 

 curved, '00025 inch long. 



A very distinct species. 



813. P. devastatrix, n. s. Peritheciis minutissimis puncti- 

 formibus nigris globosis, sporis oblongis 2-3-nucleatis. 



On Lobelias. Shrublands, Suffolk, Aug. 1856. 



This minute species, all but invisible to the naked eye, was 

 most destructive in the gardens of Sir W. Middleton in 1856. 

 The perithecia are globose, and perforated with a minute round 

 aperture; the spores oblong, hyaline, containing from two to 

 three nuclei, and •0004--00033 inch long. 



814. Excipula fusispora, n. s. Minuta, aterrima, setis rigidis 

 vestita; sporis fusiformibus multiseptatis, articulis mediis ob- 

 ^curioribus.
