372 Rev. M. J. Berkeley and Mr. C. E. Broome on British Fungi, 



881. S, (Platystomse) angustilabra, n. s. Peritheciis semi- 

 immersis rugulosis ; ostiolo angusto compresso ; sporidiis fusi- 

 formibus appendiculatis curvatis uniseptatis 4-6-nucleatis. 



On gorse. Leicestershire, Rev. A. Bloxam. 



Perithecia half-immersed, rugulose, somewhat elongated ; os- 

 tiolum compressed, narrow; asci clavate; sporidia biseriate, 

 •0018-"0016 inch long, fusiform, curved, uniseptate, constricted 

 at the septum, each articulation containing from two to three 

 nuclei, and terminating in a hyaline point. 



Differing from S. excipuliformis in the structure of the spores, 

 which are possibly at length multiseptate ; but, if so, they are at 

 first composed of two very elongated cones apposed to each 

 other at their bases, and strongly constricted at the commissure.

*^. (Platystomse) macrostoma, Tode, Fung. Meek. f. 76, 77» 

 On dead holly twigs. Spye Park, April 19, 1850, C. E. B. 



Sporidia "0008 inch long, oblong, torulose, triseptate. Very 

 like those of S. Aspegrenii. 



882. S. (Ceratostomse) lampadophora, n. s. Peritheciis gre- 

 gariis globosis sordide pruinosis, collo Ion go flexuoso irregulari ; 

 sporidiis fusiformibus curvis multiseptatis. 



On decayed wood. Batheaston, Oct. 1855 ; Combe Hay, 

 April 1855, C. E. B. 



Gregarious; perithecia middle-sized, globose, brownish, pul- 

 verulent or subtomentose ; neck elongated, irregular, flexuous ; 

 sporidia lineari-fusiform, '003 inch long, multiseptate. 



A very fine species, with the habit of S, rostrata ; but that 

 has minute sausage-shaped sporidia.

883. S, (Ceratostomse) ligneola, n. s. Peritheciis globosis 

 subglaucis glabris demersis, collo elongato obtuso; sporidiis 

 ellipticis uniseptatis. 



On decayed oak. Portbury, Somerset, Jan. 1845, C. E. B. 



Perithecia scattered, immersed in the wood, globose, smooth, 

 black with a slight glaucous bloom ; neck about as long as the 

 perithecia, obtuse; sporidia •0003-*0004 inch long, binucleate, 

 at length uniseptate. 



Resembling young S. cirrhosa, but perfectly smooth and glau- 

 cous, and by no means fibrillose. 



Plate XI. fig. 29. Sporidia magnified. 



884. S. (Obtectse) Glis, Berk. & Curr. Peritheciis mediis 

 depressis sub epidermide nidulantibus astomis ; mycelio amplo 

 tomentoso fusco ; sporidiis oblongis curvis obtusissimis quadri- 

 nuclcatis. 



On oak twigs. Weybridge, Sept. 1856, F. Currey,
