Peziza. 



ruNGi. 199 



in Dr. Hooker's Herbarium, probably quite new, but it is not advis- 

 able to publish new species o^ Peziza from dried specimens only. 



Subgenus 7. Tapesia (from ra'xri^ a carpet). Cups ivaxij 

 or coriaceous, seated upon a svhtomentose crust. 



56. P. anomalttj Pers. {anomalous Peziza); more or less 

 stipitate densely compacted incrusting, cups turbinate villous 

 fawn-coloured, disc urceolate dirty-white. Pers. ! Sj/n. p. 656. 

 Fr. Syst. Myc. v. 2. p. 106.— P.' rugosa, Sow. ! t. 369. /. 3.— . 

 Trichia faginea, Johnst. Fl. Bertv. v. 2. p. \9\.—P. barbata, 

 Klotzsch in Hook. Herb P. cerinea, Purt. 3ISS. 



On fallen trunks, branches, &c., both on the bark and wood, some- 

 times covering a whole tree in patches. — Suhiculum often obsolete. 

 Cups more or less crisped when dry. The first appearance is not at 

 all that of a Peziza, but rather of a resupinate Po/i/poriis, the struc- 

 ture of which it and its allied species most admirably illustrate. I ani 

 enabled to determine Dr. Johnstone's plant cited above by the help of 

 an authentic specimen marked " Trichia fallax ?" 



57. P. aurelia, IVIoug. {woolly Peziza); sessile subventri- 

 cose golden-yellow, subiculum thin paler. Pers. Myc. Eur, t\ 

 1 . ;:>.^270. 'lUoug. S)- Nest. exs. n. 783. Grev. Syti. Spec. p. 28. 

 —P. Wauchii, Grev. Scot. Crypt. Fl. t. 139. 



On the bare ground, on leaves, mast, &c. Rare. Foxhall, near 

 Edinburgh. Capt. Wauch.—Cup 1—2 lines broad, woolly. SubiculuiR 

 radiating. A most beautiful species. 



58. P. doniestica, Sow. {plaister Peziza) ; sessile gregarious 

 obovate villous salmon-coloured, subiculum tliin white. Sow. ! 

 #.351. Fr. Syst. Myc. v. 2. p. 107. 



On newly plastered ceilings and walls which admit the rain. — " It 

 first clothes the places that have been wetted with a fine cottony or 

 membranaceous film nearly as white as the plaster, which is in a short 

 time partly covered with salmon-coloured knobs. These at length torni 

 a kind of upright Pc-/c//, externally villous." >S't>//-. /. c. The dried 

 specimens do not retain any of their villosity, which, consequently, 

 though represented as erect must be extremely delicate. I have thought 

 proper, therefore, to retain it, for the present, in the i)lace originally 

 as.signed by Fries, notwithstanding the fresh observations in the Flt'ii- 

 c/ius as to its identity with P. diversicolor. 



59. P. cccsia, Pers. (blue-eyed Peziza) ; sessile depressed 

 villous dirty-white, the base immersed in a subiculuju of long: 

 interwoven hairs, disc sul)golatiuous bluish. Pers. Sy/i. p. 657.

P. lichenoides, Pers. Ic. et Descr. t. 8. /*. 1, 2. Purt. ! MSS. 



On fallen oak-branches. Kare. Appin, Captain Carmic/iatl, It 

 has been found in England by Jlr. Baxter. 



00. P. errdficn, Vv, (brnwn-cyvd Peziza) ; sessile granuli- 

 form villous white, surrounded at the base with long I.ik hairs, 

 disc wax like black. 7'V. Syst. Myc. v. '2. p. 108.
