62 Clavarias of the United States and Canada 



like the one at Albany. The spores are smooth, subspherical, 

 5 x 6\x. Clavaria rosacea Henn. (Fungi Madagaskar, p. 19, pi. 2, 

 fig. 5) seems indistinguishable from the last except in color, which 

 is given as rosy. Compare also C. lacta B. & Br. (Journ. Linn. 

 Soc. 14: 76. 1875 [1873] ). The plant Lloyd reports from Florida 

 as C. lacta is probably the same as ours (Letter 63, p. 9). From 

 the description it seems probable that C. Jiclicoidcs Pat. and Dem. 

 (Bull. Soc. Myc. Fr. 26: 44. 1910) is the present species, but we 

 have seen no specimen.

North Carolina: Chapel Hill. No. 2801. On earth with humus, low 

 clamp woods near Judge's Spring, July 28, 1917. No. 2816. Same spot 

 as No. 2801, July 30, 1917. No. 5230. In swampy, deciduous woods, 

 June 24, 1922. Base of stem slightly enlarged and whitened with my- 

 celium. Spores 4-4.8 x 4.8-6/x. 



South Carolina : Santee Canal. Ravenel. (Curtis Herb. 992 (101). Little 

 reddish, slender clubs 5-12 mm. high, so nearly covered with the glue as 

 not to yield spores. As C. miniata). This is probably the collection 

 reported by Berkeley in Grevillea 2: 17. 1873. 



Alabama: Auburn. Wet clay mixed with rotting leaves, December 3, 1899. 

 Mrs. F. S. Earle. "Simple, bright orange-yellow, basidia with two 

 sterigmata." The dried plants in this collection are very slender ; an- 

 other collection (November, 1900) is stouter. Both have the same color, 

 yellowish buff, and the same spores and peculiar tips. Spores sub- 

 spherical, smooth, 4-5 x 5-6/x. Basidia two-four-spored, about 7/x thick. 

 Also another collection on damp ground. July 13, 1897. F. S. Earle. 

 Spores 4.8-5. 5/x. "Scattered over considerable area in small tufts, simple 

 or branched sparingly from base, dark reddish orange, tips slender and 

 soon drying, becoming darker when dry." (Three above in U. N. C. 

 Herb.). 



Pennsylvania : Bethlehem. Schweinitz. ( Curtis Herb. ) . 



Mcllvaine. (Albany Herb., as C. aurantio-cinnabarina. ) . It may be cor- 

 rectly determined, but looks more like C. fusiformis. 



New York: Cold Spring Harbor. Dodge and Seaver. (N. Y. Bot. Gard. 

 Herb., as C. rosea). Spores 4.8-7^. in diameter. 



Burnt Hills. Peck. (Albany Herb., as C. miniata). These little plants 

 are cespitose, simple, short, thick, sharp-pointed above and also con- 

 tracted below ; in dried state buffy yellow or dull ochraceous. Spores 

 smooth, globose, with a small mucro, about 5/x in diameter.
