FEZIZA. 67 



not be much difficulty in determining it. Karsten's 

 Peziza repanda (" Myco. Fenn.," p. 54), with sporidia 

 10 — 14 X 6 — 7jU, must be something different. Fuckel 

 describes the sporidia in his " Symb. Myco." as " episporio 

 granuloso-tuberculato, fusco," measuring 16 X 8ju. This 

 again cannot be the present species (Dr. Cooke in 

 " Mycogr."). 



Name — Repandus, bent backwards.

33. Peziza reticulata. Grev. 



Cup large, fulvo-rufe scent within, plicate in the 

 centre, reticulated ; externally whitish, pruinose ; margin 

 involute, at first entire, becoming variously lacerated, 

 subrepand ; stem either thick and short or none ; asci sub- 

 cylindrical; sporidia 8, elongato-elliptic, smooth, 23 X 10^u; 

 paraphyses clavate apices, filled with brown granules.

Cup 2 to 5 inches broad. This has usually been 

 united with P. venosa, but, as we think, without good 

 reason. The odour is by no means so powerful and 

 nitrous as in that species, the colour is lighter, substance 

 less tough, sporidia more constant, and different in size 

 and form (Dr. M. C. Cooke in " Mycogr."). 



Name — Reticulatus, made like a net ; from the mark- 

 ings on the hymenium.
