On decayed and decorticated branches of a willow, in Longridge 

 Dean ; Johnstone. Kensington gardens on grass, Feb. Sowerby. — 

 I have gathered a form of the same species on grass, with the stem 

 black at the base. 



41. P. albovioldscens, A. & S. (proliferous Peziza) ; nearly- 

 sessile depressed firm clothed with villous hairs generally closed, 

 disc pallid. A. S^^ S. t. 8. f. 4. Fr. Syst. 3Iyc. v. 2. p. 96.

On branches of trees, rotten wood, &c. Near Berwick, on Furze, 

 Br. Johnston. Northamptonshire, Rev. M. J. Berkeley. — Remark- 

 able for the deep-black flesh beneath the generally proliferous hymenium; 

 occasionally when the villosity has vanished, the C7ip is also black ex- 

 ternally. Wallroth has observed the asci erumpent, which confirms 

 the notion of its not being a true Peziza, and brings it within the genus 

 Patellaria ; but repeated observations only can justify the removal. 

 Besides the state figured by Alb. §^ Schiv., 1 have met with what I 

 consider a form of this species, not above half the size, and the flesh 

 not so decidedly black, on branches of lilac, vine, &c., and even on the 

 stein of an Aster, answering exactly to P. fallax, Pers., to which 

 specimens gathered at Appin were referred by Captain Carmichael. 

 This is marked in Dr. Hooker's Herbarium by Klotzsch, P. nivea, but 

 it is quite sessile and the villosity quite of a different nature, not to 

 mention* the discoloured hyrnenium. This generally springs from some 

 Bidymosporium or other minute subcortical fungus. 



42. P. inelaxthithay Fr. (black and yellow Peziza) ; sessile 

 minute, externally farinaceo-villous greyish-yellow, disc rather 

 concave black. Fr. Syst. Myc. v. 2. p. 97. 



On fallen decorticated branches of beech. Appin, Capt. Carmichael. 

 — Gregarious; very minute. At first globose, greyish-yellow, at length 

 quite flat ; border sometimes flexuous in crowded specimens. A very 

 elegant species. 



43. P. hispidifla, Schrad. (mhiute black hispid Peziza) ; ses- 

 sile subcarnose slightly hispid black, disc concave dirty-white.
