Clavarias of the United States and Canada 129 



noticed in various herbaria; for example, there is a plant from 

 Bresadola at the New York Botanical Garden labelled C. formosa 

 that is not that but C. flava or C. botrytis (spores nearly smooth, 

 3.7-4.4 x 7.4-8. 5[x). In his own herbarium Bresadola also has at 

 least one collection of C. flava or C. botrytis determined as C. 

 formosa, while one from America (Lloyd) so determined is like 

 the type. In the Curtis Herbarium is a plant from Society Hill, 

 S. C, (unnamed) that is like ours here described. The spores 

 also agree and are 4.5-6.3 x 10-1 1.5 \l. In the same herbarium are 

 plants named C. formosa from Salem (Schweinitz) and from 

 Hillsboro (Curtis). Both are C. botrytis as shown by appear- 

 ance and spores. At the Kew Herbarium a plant from Sulphur 

 Springs, N. C, (Ravenel) labelled C. aurea is C. formosa, as are 

 also a number of English collections labelled C. aurea.
