This species differs from the preceding which also occurs on 

 Thuja in the much narrower spores and stipitate apothecia; 

 whether this species is also parasitic has not been determined.

Apothecia scattered, or gregarious, short-stipitate, externally 

 smooth, greenish-black, reaching a diameter of .6 mm.; hy- 

 menium becoming nearly plane, yellowish-green; stem reaching 

 a length of 1 mm., a little paler than the outside of the apothe- 

 cium; asci clavate-cylindric ; spores clavate, or fusiform, usually 

 curved, at first hyaline, becoming greenish, simple, 4-5 X 20- 

 25 ji; paraphyses filiform, indistinct, adhering together. 



On leaves of Sequoia sempervirens. 



Type locality: California. 



Distribution : Known only from the t>'pe locality. 



A note from the Royal Botanic Garden states that the 

 material of Peziza chloromela at Kew is very scanty. Through 

 the kindness of the Director of that institution a microscopic 

 slide has been examined. The spores, as indicated in the 

 description, are smaller than in the species on white cedar. 



In 1932 specimens of what appears to be this, collected by 

 H. E. Parks at Trinidad, California, were sent to the writer by 

 Dr. Lee Bonar. This is the first material of this species seen. 

 In 1935 it was collected by H. E. Parks in Humboldt Co., 

 California.
