126 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



On bark of Acer pseudoplatanus. October. 

 The cups are J— A line broad, rarely single, erumpent, and 

 remarkable for their hoary whiteness. (Phillips.) 

 Unknown to me. 



Scleroderris cinnamomea. Mass. 



Solitary or caespitose, sessile or substipitate, disc plane or 

 convex, cinnamon-yellow, a little pulverulent beneath ; asci 

 clavate; spores 8, oblong, rounded at the ends, unequal- 

 sided, 2- to 3-guttulate, at length 1- to 3-pseudo-septate, 

 20-30 X 8-10 fx; paraphyses filiform, slender.

 fig. 65. 



On maple bark. 



A somewhat uncertain species, of which I have not seen a 

 specimen. In the above description from Phillips, the spores 

 are said to be "pseudo-septate," whereas in the figure in 

 Brit. Disc, pi. x. fig. 65, some of the spores are distinctly 

 and strongly 3-septate. Phillij^s considers this to be the 

 Peziza cinnamomea, D. C, Flor. Fr., p. 13. Eehm, on the 

 other hand, quotes Phillips's species under Dermatea alni, 

 Eehm, with a query. Saccardo — Syll., viii. n. 1294, — on the 

 other hand, quotes the plant of Phillips under Pezicala 

 cinnamomea, Sacc, which in turn is considered as being 

 identical with Peziza cinnamomea, D. C. 



** Growing on Gymnosperms. 



Scleroderris amphibola. Gillet, Disc. Fr., p. 198; 

 Sacc, Syll., viii. n. 2465. 



Erumpent, soon quite superficial; usually scattered and 

 solitary, rarely in small groups; sessile, attached by a 

 central point, at first closed and subglobose, then expanding 

 and becoming concave, finally plane or slightly convex, 

 immarginate, black, slightly rugulose ; excipulurn formed of 

 parallel, septate, olive hyphae, that become darker in colour 

 and parenchymatous at the surface ; asci clavate, apex 

 rounded, wall thick upwards, narrowed and usually bent at 

 the base, 8-spored ; spores irregularly 2-seriate, or sometimes 

 1-seriate, narrowly fusiform, straight or slightly curved, 

 hyaline, 3-5-septate, 16-22 X 3-3 -5 /x; paraphyses a little
