On trunks and branches. Autumn and early winter. Common. — I am 

 by no means certain that tlie plant I have in view is identical with that of 

 Fries though undoubtedly it is that of Sowerby and answering perfectly 

 to the character given above, and apparently different from P. aiirea. 

 Sow.! t. loO, referred by Fries to P. lentlcularis, specimens of which 

 appear not to differ at all from P. citrina, Moiuj. and Nest. n. 784. 

 My plant does not change colour when dry, nor when crowded become 

 confluent, as is the case in the specimens published by Mougeot and 

 Nestler, which accord with the observations of Persoon. Specimens 

 from Purton are marked by Klotzsch, P. jiallescens, but this is at 

 variance with the whole account of Hoffman, Persoon and Alb. and 

 Schw. 



76. P. jmllescens, Pers. (pallid Peziza) ; gregarious smooth 

 pale yellow or wliitissh changing to pallid, cup concave, stem 

 short ratlier tliick pallid. Pers. Syn. p. G64. Fr. Syst. Myc. 

 V. 2./ 132.— P. lejiticulaiis, Hoffni. FL Germ. Crypt, t. 13. 



On sawn wood, chips, &c., generally accompanying a small species of 

 Tornla. Autumn. — White at first, then of a beautiful apricot-colour, 

 which is retained by the dried plant ; rather crisp, | a line broad ; 

 margin distinct, sometimes flexuous. Stern and cup, which together 

 form an inverse cone, sometimes marked externally with transverse 

 ridges. Persoon remarks the circumstance of its growing on a black 

 crust, which accords with my observation of its being accompanied by 

 a ToiiULA, which is figured by Hoffman and is usually referred to 2\ 

 antennata, though in reality quite different and very much smaller. 



77. P. cribrosa, Grev. (sieve-like Peziza) ; black solitary 

 rather large very concave, hymenium cribriform or full of 

 lacerated irregular pores and sinuses. Grev. Fl. Ed. }). A2d, 

 Lond. Hart. Brit. p. 455. 



On the ground, in sandy or gravelly places, amongst short grass. 

 Autumn. North-west of Scotland. Messrs. Hooker cS' Grevillc. 

 liahmito. Dr. Grevillc— "■ Large, ^—1 inch broad, hemispherical, at 

 length partly spreading, but always deeply concave, wholly black, but 

 deeper within, somewhat rugose at the base externally ; margin entire, 

 even." Grev. I. c. 



78. P. claro-fdra, Grev. (clear yellow Peziza) ; «' yellow 

 gregarious minute ohconical, at length somewhat plane, margin 

 raised obtuse externally somewhat paler." Grev. Fl. Ed. 

 p. 424. 



On decayed wood and brandies of trees. Autumn. Hraid Hermi- 

 tage, near Kdin!)urgh. — Very minute, liie largest not half a line broad, 

 always concave. Whole [)lant very bright yellow. Jlj/nieuium darker."
