428 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



fig. 239 of Cooke's Mycographia, which is called Peziza per- 

 lata, Fr., and figured with elliptical spores having the ends 

 obtuse, and said to measure 15-20 X 10-12 /x; this figure is 

 stated to be drawn from specimens in Karsten's Fung. Fenn., 

 n. 531, but on examining the identical specimen that was 

 drawn by Cooke, in the exs. quoted, I find the spores to be ellip- 

 tical, 3-guttulate, and apiculate at both ends, agreeing in fact 

 in every respect with the specimen contained in Eab., Fung. 

 Eur., n. 805, and also with fig. 371 in Mycographia, which 

 appears to be the true P. ancilis. The species described by 

 Saccardo — Syll., viii. n. 338 — is not the fungus described 

 here. 



Peziza linteicola. Phil. & Plow., Brit. Disc, p. 64 ; 

 Sacc, Syll., viii. n. 280. 



Sessile, caespitose, very fragile, cochleate or entire, 

 fulvous ; externally farinose, hoary ; margin crenate ; asci 

 cylindrical, spores 8, elliptic, eguttulate, smooth, 12-15 X 

 8-10 /jl; paraphyses linear, septate, clavate at the apices. 



On damj3 rotting linen cloth. 



Ascophores J-J of an inch broad ; sometimes divided to 

 the base on one side, the edges of the division involute, at 

 others entire, cupulate, arising from white creeping mycelium ; 

 spores vary much in size, and are shortly elliptical, 

 approaching globose. The apices of the paraphyses are 

 clavate or pear-shaped, with one or two large elliptic 

 transparent nuclei ( = oleaginous drops), devoid of granules. 

 The cells forming the exterior of the cups are rather small, 

 from 10-20 /x in diameter. (Phillips.) 



Not examined. 



Peziza repanda. Wahlenb., Fl. Upsal., p. 466 ; 

 Cooke, Mycogr. fig. 240 ; Phil., Brit. Disc, p. 66. 



Clustered or scattered, subsessile, contracted into a short, 

 stout, stem-like base, which is often rooting; saucer-shaped, 

 then quite expanded and the margin more or less split and 

 wavy, sometimes drooping and re volute, extreme edge often 

 crenate; 4-10 cm. across; disc pale or dark brown or umber, 

 more or less wrinkled towards the centre, externally whitish, 

 minutely granular ; excijmlum pseudoparenchymatous, the 

 component hyphae often distinct, external cells largest ; asci 

 cylindrical, 8-spored ; spores obliquely 1 -seriate, hyaline,
