1 . P. aceldbuhim, L. {sochet Peziza) ; deeply cup-shaped 

 dirty-brown traversed externally by branched veins given off 

 by tlie fistulose costato-lacnnose stem. Linn. Syst. Veg. p. 979.

On the naked soil in thickets, &c., rare. Spring and early summer. 

 Sand-H Litton, Yorks. llev. Mr, Buflstone. King's Chffe, Norths. 

 Rev. M. J Berkeletj. — Cup 2 inches broad, H inch high ; externally 

 floccoso-furfuraceous, light-umbcr, darker uitiiin ; mouth contracted ; 

 firm, tongh ; flesh not very thick. Stem |- an inch high, smooth, 

 deeply but regularly costato-Iacunose, the ribs, which, in my specimens 

 though apparently full-grown arc solid, branching at the top and forming 

 reticulations on the outside of the cup, so as to present the appearance 

 of a cluster of pillars su[)porting a font or roof with fret work between 

 them. 



2. P. reticiddta, Grev. {reticulated Peziza) ; reddisli-brown 

 witliin strongly plicate and reticulated, vrithout whitisli and 

 pruinose, margin invohito at length variously split the seg- 

 ments repand, stem short thick costate sometimes obsolete.

On the ground ; Spring. Foxhall, Capt. Wauch. Cotterstock, 

 King's Clifle, Norths, licv. 31. J. Berhclei/. — Many inches broad. 

 Odour strong, like that of nitric acid. Dr. (irevillc observes very truly 

 that its affinity is not with the cochleate Pezizas, as the tendency of its 

 lobes is rather to fold back than to curl in. Fries supposes it to be 

 near to Peziza venosa, but in that species the veins arc external. The 

 figure by Wulfen, from which, I think, nothing can be decided, is quoted 

 by Withering under P. cochlcata. 



8. P. bddia, Pers. (large brown Peziza) ; nearly sessile entire 

 flexuous brown, margin at first involute, without pruinose 

 paler and inclining to olive. Pers. Syn. p. 639. Fr. Syst. 

 Myc. V. 2. p. 46. — Ilclr. coclileata, Bolt. t. 99. 



On the ground. About Halifax, Bolton, who seems however to have 

 more than one species in view. — " 1 — '2 inches broad, subcaispitose, 

 irregular, slightly pruinose externally, villous at the base and often 

 lacunosc. JJisc occasionally porous ; extremely changeable in colour, 

 often, in the same individual, changing from rufous to a beautiful olive, 

 brownish, &c." Fr. I. c. 



4. P. onotica, Vqy^,. (car-sliapcd Peziza); suhstipitato elon- 

 gated on one side ear- shaped mealy M-ithout, yellowish rose- 

 coloured witliin, the ba«^e of the disk at length rugose. Pers, 

 Syn. p. 637. Fr. Syst. Myc. v. 2. p. 48. Bitm. in St. Deulsch.
