 338 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 



Specimens examined : 

 Exsiccati: Rabenhorst, Fung. Eur., 208 (in Kew Herb.). 

 Sweden: L. Rofucll, 50. 

 South Carolina: Ravenel (in Curtis Herb., 2982). 



C. crispus Ft., sometimes regarded as a variety of C. sinu- 

 osus, was reported from New England, Sprague, by Berkeley & 

 Curtis, Grevillea i : 147, but the specimen is not satisfactory 

 for study. I do not, therefore, like to include C. crispus as 

 one of our species. 



10. C. calyculus (B. & C.) Burt, n. comb. 



Stereum calyculus Berk. & Curtis, Hooker's Jour. Bot. and 

 Kew Card. Misc. i: 238. 1849; Grevillea i: 161. 1873. 



Type: type and cotype in Kew Herb, and Curtis Herb, 

 respectively. 



Fructifications somewhat fleshy-membranaceous; pileus thin, 

 deeply cup-shaped, minutely tomentose, drying Saccardo's 

 umber, opaque; stem apparentlj^ hollow, cream buff, attenuated 

 below, tomentose at the base; hj-menium even or slightly venose, 

 cream buff; spores slightly yellowish under the microscope, 

 even, 8 x 6 /x- 



Fructifications 2-3 cm. high; pileus 4-8 mm. broad; stem 

 1 cm. long, 1-2 mm. thick. 



On ground in damp shady woods. North and South Caro- 

 lina. August and September. 



Upon moistening, the type in Kew Herbarium proved too 

 soft and fleshy and the hymenium too waxy for a Stereum. The 

 sections have the structure of Craterellus. The species is near 

 C. sinuosus and may prove to be a small form of this when 

 ample material gives more complete knowledge of the species, 

 but, for the present, I regard C. calyculus as a distinct species. 

 I refer to C. calyculus a collection made by Professor Atkinson 

 at Blowing Rock, North Carolina, the rough-dried and cespitose 

 specimens of which show a somewhat tubiform pileus and 

 spores 7-8 x 4| /x. 



Specimens examined : 

 North Carolina: Blowing Rock, G. F. Atkinson, ^200. 

 South Carolina: Santee River, Ravenel, Curtis Herb., 1716 

 (the type and cotype in Kew Herb, and Curtis Herb, 

 respectively) .
