22G. Lachnocladium semivestitum. B. $ C— Delicatnin repe- 

 titer farcato-ramosum, ramis toinentosis ; apice glabris. No. 4260. 

 Penns. Michener. On the ground. From a common short stem 

 straight forked branches arise, which are clothed below with whitish 

 down, the acute tips alone being free. 



227. Lachnocladium subsimile. B.— Delicatum repetiter ra- 

 mosum, flexuosum deorsum tomentosum. No. 4600. New Jersey. 

 On the ground. I had at first considered this as a form of L. 

 semivestitum, but the ramification is very different. Even the base is 

 flexuons, and the branches are not straight, while the tips are 

 shortly forked. 



228. Lachnocladium Micheneri. B. 4' C. — Repetiter ramosum 

 furcatum fnscum e caudice cylindrico subdiviso ; basi albo-tomento- 

 snm. No. 3534, 3763. Penns. Michener. On dead leaves, on which 

 it forms an orbicular villous patch, from whence arise one or two 

 stems, which are tomentose below and soon become repeatedly 

 forked, the ultimate very acute divisions forming a dendroid tuft. 

 It is difficult to say whether this should be placed in Thelephora or 

 Lachnocladium.
