BRITISH FUNGI. 185 



from Rabenliorst's ** Fungi Europtei," No. 519, as determined by 

 an autlientic specimen from Desmazieres, the sporidia are much 

 smaller and not septate, as in " Grevillea" iii., fig. 193, the para- 

 physes are long and pointed. 



Feziza (Dasyscypha) xesinaxia. Ctwke Sf Phillijis. 



Gregarious, stipitate ; cups at first turbinate, then open fl-l 

 m.m.), clad externally, as well as the short stem with white villous 

 down ; margin inflexed. Disc pale orange yellow. Asci cylin- 

 drical ("05 m.m. long). Sporidia oval, minute ('005 X '0025 

 m.m.). Paraphyses filiform. — Phillips Elv. Britt. fasc. ii., ined.

Mr. Phillips, adverting to the observations at p. 121, on Feziza 

 suhtilissima, C, and other species of Feziza closely allied, has 

 forwarded specimens of the above, which are clearly distinct from 

 any hitherto described. Externally it is more like a minute form 

 of Feziza bicolor than Feziza ealycina, but the fruit is different, 

 the hairs much shorter, and the whole plant much smaller. It is 

 only necessary to compare the sporidia with those of allied species 

 to recognize its claim to rank as a distinct species ; these are most 

 like those of Feziza Agassizii, B. & C, a North American species, 

 but the asci and sporidia are much smaller, the latter being 

 •01 X •005--006 m.m. in F. Agassizii, and '005 x '0025 m.m. in 

 the above. Fortunately Mr. Phillips is in possession of sufficient 

 specimens to include this in the forthcoming fasciculus of his 

 " Elvellacei Britannici," together with the Cenangium hereafter 

 described.
