SPECIES IMPERFECTLY KNOWN 



12. S. gracilis Copeland, Ann. Myc. 2: 508. 1904; Sacc. 

 Syll. Fung. 21: 362. 1912. 



"Sparsa; cupulis primo urceolatis, brevissime stipitatis, demum 

 cylindraceis, denique late sessilibus, sursum attenuatis, oribus 

 incrassatis, integris, glabris, stramineis nitentibus, vel candidis 

 et deorsum fuscescentibus, 0.5 mm. altis; sporis globosis, 7.5-8 (x 

 diam. 



"Ad lignum putridum Alni. Saratoga." [California.] 



13. S. villosa Fries, Syst. Myc. 2: 200. 1823; Hym. Eur. 596. 

 1874; Schweinitz, Am. Phil. Soc. Trans. N. S. 4: 180. 1832; Sacc. 

 Syll. Fung. 6: 425. 1888. 



Fructifications gregarious, cylindric, villose, white. Related 

 to the preceding species {S. Candida, S. fasciculata, S. pallens) 

 but a little larger, distinctly villose, by this approaching S. 

 ochracea. On fallen rotten wood. 



The above is a translation of the original description, to which 

 I have found no distinctive additions from later European 

 research. The description is given here because American my- 

 cologists have so frequently referred gatherings to S. villosa, a 

 species which seems to be imperfectly known in its own country. 



MATRUCHOTIA, MICROSTROMA, PROTOCORONOSPORA 



Matruchotia varians Boulanger, Rev. Gen. Bot. 5: 401. pi. 

 12-14. 1893; Rev. Myc. 16; QS. pi 14^-144- 1894. Sacc. Syll. 

 Fung. 11: 118. 1895. 



Under the above name Boulanger described as a new genus 

 and new species a fungus of soft consistency and aspect of the
