MTJCEDIXES. 599 



Effused, Forming small dark thin patches ; flocci erect, rather closely articu- 

 late, bearing at the apex a coronet of very short branches, which are swollen 

 at the base, and strongly attenuated upwards ; spores globose. There is 

 sometimes the rudiment of a lower whorl of branchlets. — B. tfc Br. 



1794. Verticillium nanum. B.&Br, " Dwarf Verticillium." 



Minute, white ; flocci vagrantly branched, ramuli opposite ; 

 spores elliptic. — B. ^ Br. Ann. N.H. no. 532 , t. 1 ,f. 18. 



On pears. Cranford Bridge. 



Very minute. An obscure species, in which the whorl of ramuli is reduced 

 to two, by which it is distinguished, as well as by the elliptic spores. 



1795. Verticillium epimyces. B d; Br. " Parasitic 



Verticillium." 



Effused, white, with a flesh coloured tinge ; flocci trifid ; 

 ramuli subternate, elongated ; spores oblong. — Br. ^- Br. Ann.

On decayed Elaphomyces. Oct. Rudloe, Wilts. 



White, with a flesh coloured tinge, forming thin effused patches, which 

 appear compact, and not the least byssoid. Threads once or twice trifid, 

 rarely bifid, ultimate raiuuli ternate or binate, slightly swollen below, at- 

 tenuated upwards ; spores terminal, at first globose, then elongated, when 

 perfect 4-5 times as long as broad. — B. cD Br. 



1796. Vexticilliuzn distans. B. <£.• Br. " Distant Verticillium." 



Scattered, snow-white; flocci slender; branches alternate, 

 ramuli rather long, regularly attenuated ; spores oblong, endo- 

 chrome bipartite. — B. ^* Br. Ann. N.H. no. 534. 1. 1 ,f. 16. 



On herbaceous stems. Cranford Bridge. 



Threads short, slender, branched alternately, ramuli 4-6 in a whorl, rather 

 long, regularly attenuated, whorls distant. 



Gen. 233. HAFLARIA, Link.
