114 Clavarias of the United States and Canada 



ter. Their description may be a composite, but the spores they 

 give are like those of our C. ntfescens both in size and in the 

 characteristic longitudinal striations. In the Kew Herbarium is a 

 good collection from Epping Forest (Berkeley, 1879) now in the 

 botrytis fascicle with spores given as "15 x 6ja, reticulated" by Cot- 

 ton. This seems to be the C. botrytis of Cotton and Wakefield. 

 Miss Wakefield examined our slide of the spores of the plant and 

 said they answer to their C. botrytis. Maire's interpretation of 

 C. botrytis is certainly our C. rufescens. He mentions the charac- 

 teristic markings of the spores and the peculiar spotted appearance 

 of the mature plant due to the gnawing of grubs (Bull. Soc. Myc. 

 Fr. 27: 449. 1911). He thinks his plant probably the same as 

 C. sculpta Beck (Verh. KK. Zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, 34: 603, pi. 15, 

 fig. 1. 1889). Burt (1. c. p. 7) has followed the interpretation of 

 Cotton and Wakefield. 



Clavaria conjuncta seems certainly this (or C. flava with tip 

 color wrongly shown), the dried plants having the same charac- 

 teristic appearance and the spores being alike, rough, 3.5-4.4x8- 

 10[/. in the type. It is probable that C. plcbcja is this species, but 

 the tips are shown as pinkish purple.
