This is not a good Peziza, though it certainly has asci and 
sporidia. The former are clavate, the latter subcymbiform. 
Ditiola, to which Fries is inclined to refer it, has no asci. 
The present plant is, I think, certainly congenerie with 
Peziza rhabarbarina, Berk., which has been referred by 
Desmaziéres to Patellaria. It is, however, to be observed 
that neither have the septate sporidia of P. atrata.
