82 Clavarias of the United States and Canada 



Juel (cited under C. cristata) finds that two transverse nuclear 

 divisions occur in the tips of the basidia, that the young spore 

 contains a visible nucleus, but that as a rule in the ripe spore none 

 can be seen; basidium 4-spored (pi. 3, figs. 75-80). He has sent 

 us good plants of this species which are like ours, with spores 

 4.5-6pi thick.
