Near Woolwich. 



White ; flocci rather thick, simple below, two or three times forked, slight, 

 swollen here and there j ultimate divisions clavate, beset with transverse 

 rows of globose spores. — B. <bBr.

Rhinotrichum repens. Preuss. "Creeping 

 Rhinotrichum." 



Mycelium effused, cinereous ; flocci branched, colourless, intri- 

 cate, septate, creeping, branches erect, verrucose abov^e, bearing 

 ovate-acuminate, grey, smooth, nucleate spores. — Preuss. Sturm. 

 xxy.t.22. B. ^Br.Ann.N.H. (1866), «o. 1149. 



On fallen trunks. Oct. May. 



Looks like a mere bloom, so that it might easily escape notice. The spores 

 are borne on little wart-like projections on the upper portion of the branches. 



1769. Rhinotrichum lanosum. Cooke. ''Woolly Ehino- 



triclium." 



White, with a pale ochraceous tinge, forming dense woolly 

 tufts, barren flocci very delicate branched, ascending, fertile 

 flocci decumbent, long, delicate, septate, with short patent 

 branches, tips with 2-4 spicules, each with a single, obovate, 

 hyaline spore. — Clinotrichum lanosum. Cooke exs. no. ^hQ. Pop. 

 Sci. Rev. Jan. 1871, t. 68,/. 1-3. 



On damp wall paper. April. 



There are sometimes three or four, but more commonly one or two spores 

 at the tips of the branches, each attached to a short spicule. We were at 

 first disposed to regard this as the type of a new genus under the name of 

 Clinotrkfaim, but, on more mature consideration, prefer including it here.

One of the most splendid species of the genus, remarkable for its highly 

 branched threads and verticillate ramuli, the colour of the whole plant is 

 pale tawny or fawn. — B. ct Br,
