110 NEW BRIT18H FUNGI. 



On the ground. Rannoch. Dr. Buchanan White. 

 This is referred to the American species as a variety, but it 

 seems to be more tremellose than the typical form, and the sporidia 

 do not flow out and cover the surface of the club ; this may be 

 accounted for in that the specimens were not so fully matured. 

 Sporidia '03 m.m. long. 



Feziza (Humazia) Phillipsii. Cooke MijcograpMa ii., Jiff. 88. 

 Sessile scattered, fleshy, cup-shaped, at length expanded, exter- 

 nally fuliginous, rough ; hymenium, dark vinous, plane, margin 

 sometimes crenulate, sporidia elliptic, attenuated at each end, ver- 

 rucose, paraphyses clavate, septate. Ascobolus amethystinus, Phil- 

 lips in part. 



On sandy ground , Shrewsbury. 

 Sporidia -025 X "Oil m.m, 



Peziza (Humaria) violascens. Cooke, Mycographia it., fig. 83. 

 Subhemispherical, violaceous-brown, whitish at the base, seated 

 on pallid rooting fibrils, hymenium plane or convex, asci cylin- 

 drical. Sporidia globose, uninucleate, granular. Paraphyses fili- 

 form. Ascobolus Persoonii, Cronan Flor. Fin., p. 56. 

 Amongst small mosses. Shrewsbury (W. Phillips). 

 Cups 5-7 m.m. broad. Sporidia -OOS-'OOO m.m. diam. 



Feziza (Humazia) lechithina. Goolte. 

 Gregarious, sessile, egg-yellow ; cups (5 m.m. broad), hemi- 

 spherical, then flattened, becoming convex ; margin narrow, 

 distinct ; asci cylindrical ; sporidia elliptical, smooth ; paraphyses 

 septate, clavate above, filled with orange granules. Cooke, Myco- 

 graphia, a, fig. 89. ' 

 On old trunk crossing a stream. Sept. Forden. 

 This interesting species is quite distinct from anything hitherto 

 described. Sporidia -025 X -012 m.m. 



Feziza (Humazia) constellatio. B. & Br. Ann. Nat. Hist. 

 Scattered, sessile, red. Cups (1-2 mm.) hemispherical, soon 

 flattened, disc at length convex ; asci cylindrical ; sporidia globose, 

 smooth ; paraphyses profuse, filiform, filled with orange granules. 

 — Feziza kumosa, Rehii Ascomy. No. 4. Cooke, Alycographia, ii, 

 fig. 81. 



On the ground. Hereford (W. Phillips). Kent (M. J. B.). 

 Sporidia •012--013 m.m. The same species was sent us by 

 Professor Saccardo from Italy, under the name of Feziza humosa. 

 There is a slight difference in the size of the sporidia from 

 different localities ranging from 'Oil to "013 mm. diameter. In 

 all there are the same linear granular orange parapbyses, in great 

 number, curved at the tips. Fuckel's Crouania humosa has much 

 larger sporidia ('016 m.m), though it is doubtful whetlier this is 

 sufficient to constitute it a distinct species, in the absence of any 

 other difference. 



Feziza (Humazia) pluvialis. Cooke. 

 Gregarious, sometimes densely crowded, rather soft, flesh- 

 colour, or with an orange tint. Cups (|- m.m. broad), soon flat-
