 with an erect margin, 3-5 mm. across ; excipulum paren- 

 chymatous, cells irregularly polygonal, 10-15 fx across; disc 

 almost blood-red; externally pale brown, and rather densely 

 •clothed with rigid, pointed, thick-walled, septate, smooth, 

 brown hairs which form an erect fringe round the margin, 

 50-120 x 9-12 fx ; asci cylindrical, obliquely stipitate, 

 8-spored ; spores, obliquely uniseriate, elliptical, ends obtuse, 

 continuous, hyaline, smooth, 1-3 guttulate, 17-20 x 9 X 10 /u, ;

On the ground. 



Specimen in Fuckel's Fung. Ehen., n. 2288, examined. 



Lachnea hirto-coccinea. Phil. & Plow., Brit. Disc, 

 p. 212. 



Sessile, scattered or crowded, fleshy, hemispherical, then 

 expanded, dull scarlet; clothed with scattered, pale brown, 

 obtuse, septate hairs, longest on the incurved margin ; disc 

 same colour ; asci cylindrical ; spores 8, broadly elliptic, 

 1 to 2 guttulate, smooth, 22 X 11 ft; paraphyses rather 

 slender, apices clavate, filled with scarlet granules. 



Peziza hirto-coccinea, Phil. & Plow., Grev., viii. p. 100. 



On the ground in pine woods, in damp, mossy places. 



Cups 2 to 4 lines broad. The hairs below the margin are 

 shorter than those on the margin and are often clavate, with 

 or without septa. There is in some instances a conspicuous 

 white mycelium below the cups. 



Unknown to me. The whole of the above is from Phillips, 

 Brit. Disc, p. 212. I am not quite certain from the descrip- 

 tion, whether the present species should be included in 

 Lachnea or Sepultaria.
