195. Bulgaria globosa (Plate 74). 



In fourth line of synonymy change the specific name from 

 "globosa'' to " globosiim.'' 



Add the note: This species, formerh- known in this country 

 only from Toronto, has recently been reported as occurring in 

 white pine woods in Oregon and Idaho by Sylvan Cohen. His 

 technical description is as follows: "Apothecium single, sessile, 

 entirely black; externally tomentose by virtue of the possession 

 of flexuous brown hairs about 6 /x in diameter; the substance 

 mostly yellow-brown gelatinous internally, and enclosed by a 

 thin tough black layer of h\phae which wrinkles strongly upon 

 drying; specimens vary from 7.0-10.5 cms. in diameter and 

 6-7.5 cms. in height; hymenium slightly concave, more like a 

 flat layer within the apothecium, sunken about 2 cms. into the 

 cup-shaped structure, and tapering to the thin inrolled, irregular 

 margins of the hypothecium; smooth and glistening, splitting 

 into vein-like crevices as the outer black layer dries, exposing 

 the internal gelatinous structure; apothecia connected to the 

 humus by dense tufts of mycelium at bases; asci cylindric, 

 varying greatly in length from 250 520 m, and 12.6-15.1 m in 

 diameter, tapering below into a long slender base; ascospores 

 usually lie in the upper 120 m of the ascus, leaving the lower 

 portions h\alinc; ascospores ellipsoid, not narrowed at ends, 

 hyaline to subhyaline, averaging 26.57 X 10.54 microns in 

 our specimens, sometimes possessing numerous guttules; pa- 

 raph>ses filiform, hyaline to subhyaline, scarcely enlarged above, 

 about 8-septate, as long as the asci and 2.6-3.8 jj. wide."
