On dry stems of Rubus idaeus. 



Allied to D. calyculaeformis ; for distinguishing features 

 see under last-named. 



Specimens examined in Phil., Brit. El v., n. 67, and 

 Eehm, Ascom., n. 61. 



There is no certain evidence of the occurrence of Peziza 

 caulicola ( = Lachnella caulicola, Phil., Brit. Disc, p. 236) in

 accepted by Phillips as this species, proves on examination 

 to be typical Dasyscypha clandestina.
