 doubtful whether he had the right plant in view.

Pseudopeziza Browniana. Mass. 



Scattered, erumpent, broadly sessile, at first quite closed 

 then expanding and becoming hemispherical, margin erect, 

 irregularly fimbriate, whitish, incurved when dry, fleshy, 

 lmm. across; externally pale oehraeeous-brown, glabrous j 

 disc concave, pallid ; exeipulum parenchymatous, external 

 cells polygonal, 9-12 diameter, rather thick walled, brown, 

 running out in irregular groups at the margin, and behind 

 these groups, as viewed from the exterior, are short, septate, 

 cylindrical, obtuse, tinted or hyaline hairs 30-50 X 4 ju-, 

 springing from the inner layers of the exeipulum; asci 

 cylindric-clavate, apex rather narrowed, 8-spored ; spores 

 irregularly uniseriate, or sometimes more or less 2-seriate 

 near the top of the ascus, narrowly elliptic-fusiform, the 

 apex sometimes rounded, and then becoming elongated 

 clavate, often very slightly curved, hyaline, for a long time 

 continuous, then 2-guttulate, and finally 1-septate, smooth ; 

 paraphyses numerous, filiform, apex clavate or fusiformly 

 thickened, hyaline.
