176 FUNGI. [Clavaria: 



Amongst grass : Autumn. Hampstead Heath. Hornsey, Sowerhy* 

 Balmuto near Edinburgh, Dr. Greville. Appin, Captain Carnnchael- 

 — " Yellow, smooth, about 3 inches high, many individuals collected 

 into a fasciculate tuft ; nearly erect, rather brittle, attenuated at either 

 end, apex darker." Fr. I. c. Fries in his Elenchiis appears to consider 

 this as a variety of C. incequalis. 



14. C. ceranoides, Pers. (jjellow wrinkled Clavarid) ; fasci- 

 culate unequal slightly divided yellowish, apex brown. Pers^ 

 Syn. p. 594. Fr. Syst. Myc. v. 1. p. 481. — C. rugosa, Soiv, 

 t. 235. 



Sent to Mr. Sowerhy by Mr. E. Forster in September. — This species 

 resembles in form some states of C. rugosa, but it appears to be very 

 distinct. 



15. C. mcBfjudlis, Miill. (irregular yelloiu Clavaria) ; fasci- 

 culate unequal brittle yellow or yellow-white acute irregular. 

 Fl. Dan, t. Ql^.f. 1. Fr. Syst. Myc. v. I. p. 481. Grev. Fl. 

 Ed. p, 414. — C. bifurca, Bull. t. 264. — C. vermiculata. Sow. 

 t. 253. 



Meadows and pastures ; common. — Somewhat tufted or gregarious, 

 1 — 3 inches high, of various sizes and forms, fragile, compressed, angular 

 or channelled, often bifid and variously cut and jagged at the apex, more 

 or less ventricose in the centre, smooth and mostly yellow, though 

 occasionally whitish. Grev. I. c. 



16. C. helvola, Pers. (opaque yelloiu Clavaria); gregarious 

 round equal even dirty yellow, apex frequently cinnamon. 



Pers. Syn. p. 595. 



Meadows and pastures. Not uncommon. Sept. — Linear, subgre- 

 garious, 1 — 2 inches high, 



17. C. frdgilis, Holmsk. (brittle Clavaria); tufted fistulose 

 white or yellowish variable in form. Holmsk. Ot. 1. p. 7, cum 



jig. Fr. Syst. Myc. v. \. p. 484.— a. gracilis; atte*nuated 

 upwards. C. fragilis, Pers. Comm. p. 11 — C. gracilis, Bolt, 

 t. 111./ 1. Sow.t.'^Q^. — b. cylindrica ; stem slender recep- 

 tacle SAvoUen obtuse. Vaill. t. l.f. 5. — C.cxjlindrica, Bull. t. 463.

On the ground, woods and heaths ; not common. — a. Nork Park, 

 Lady Arden. b. Between Newington and Hornsey, Sowerhy. — " Gre- 

 garious, subcDsspitose, 1—3 inches high, sometimes forked, stuffed when 

 young, round, straight, at length hollow, compressed, twisted, often 

 rugose, attenuated, paler below, without a distinct stem ; apex at 

 length yellowish." Fr. I. c. C. fragilis, Grev. Scot. Crypt. Fl. 

 t. ol, is referred by Fries as a variety to C. incRqualis ; it certainly 

 appears to differ very much from the figures quoted above, though much 

 resembling C. fragilis, b., Holmsk., to which figure I can find no re- 

 ference made by Fries, except it be included in the general citation of 

 C. fragilis, Holmsk.
