39G Rev. M. J. Berkeley on Exotic Fungi, 



rally forming orbicular resupinate patches which soon be- 

 come confluent, with the border free almost to the centre, lobed, 

 often multipartite, crisped and plicate ; sometimes flabellate, 

 adhering only by the vertex, which assumes the form of a stem. 

 The older portions are clothed with whitish down, the newer 

 are smooth and shining bright red-brown, elegantly zoned. 



On twigs. New Orleans. Fries appears not to have seen 

 orbicular roundly-lobed specimens in which the pileus is 

 closely and most elegantly zoned. In plicate individuals the 

 zones are obscure. New Orleans. Mr. Drummond. Klotzsch 

 says N. A., Dr. Richardson, but I suspect this is a mistake. 



Geoglossum. 



G. hirsutum, var. hirsutiusculum, Berk. 



A smaller plant than the European, but differing in no re- 

 spect from it except in the bristles being shorter. The ana- 

 lysis of both is similar, the asci being shorter and stouter than 

 in G. glabrum. The sporidia in both species are very di- 

 stinctly septate. 



Mauritius. Mr. Telfair. 



Peziza. 



1 . P. anomala, Pers. P. solenia ? videtur diversa et for- 

 tasse n. sp. Bertero. No. 1701. 



On bark and Sphcerice. Juan Fernandez. 1830, May. 

 Not in Fl. Fern. 



2. P. (Phial. Hymenosc.) utriculus, Bert. Mss. No. 1?02. 

 Scattered; cups white, hemispherical, membranous, smooth, 

 crisped ; stem slender, rather long. 



On dead wood. Juan Fernandez. Bertero. 1830, May. 



Not noticed by Montagne. Resembling Peziza Campanula, 



but much smaller. 



Exidia. 



1. E. hispidula, Berk. Globoso-campanulate, oblique, ses- 

 sile within, brown-black, externally fawn-coloured, clothed 

 with short bristly down. Peziza nigricans, Hook, in Kunth. 

 Syn. vol. i. p. 13. 



New Granada. Humboldt. Mauritius. Mr. Bojer. St. 

 Vincents. Rev. L. Guilding. Nearly allied to E. auricula 

 Judoe, but the down is longer and more bristly.
