326 The North American Cup-Fungi 



Miss Daisy S. Hone in her Minnesota work (Minn. Bot. 

 Studies 4: 111. 1909) describes a variety Godronia urceolata 

 conferta which was said to differ in the habitat on Prunus pumila 

 as well as in the clustered habit of the apothecia and the slightly 

 shorter spores. 



Godronia Cassandrae described by Peck from material col- 

 lected on Cassandra calycidata appears to be identical with the 

 above. 



Cenangium urceolatiim Ellis is identical. The spores are 

 described by Ellis as fusoid, 1 -septate and 4 X 15 ju. These 

 were apparently conidia or pycnospores. Such spores have 

 been found in connection with other specimens. The ascospores 

 in this species are typical. 



16. Godronia montanensis Seaver, Mycologia 37: 348. 1945. 



Apothecia scattered, erumpent, superficial, at first urceolate, 

 later expanding and becoming subdiscoid, blackish and minutely 

 verrucose, reaching a diameter of 1 mm. ; hymenium concave, or 

 nearly plane, pale-yellowish; asci cylindric, reaching a length of 

 175-185 ii and a diameter of 10-11 n, probably 8-spored; spores 

 filiform, nearly as long as the ascus, about 3 yu in diameter, many- 

 septate and apparently breaking up into segments in the ascus, 

 the segments about as long as broad; paraphyses filiform, about 

 1.5 in diameter. 



On sage brush. 



Type locality: Sheridan, Montana. 



Distribution: Known only from the type locality. 



This interesting species was found sparingly associated with 

 Dermatella montanensis Ellis & Ev. and was probably overlooked 

 by Ellis. The species differs from others examined in the spores 

 becoming disjuncted in the ascus as well as in the size of the 

 spores and asci.

 dark brownish-black, reaching a diameter of 2 mm. ; hymenium
