Shaped like a butter-boat. Mr. Sracxnouse. This plant is 
most excellently figured by Bolton. The colour is usually a 
~ bright deep orange above, and a dirty orange or yellow beneath, 
in which it differs from Bolt. 104, which is always a rich scar- 
let within, and white and silvery without. It differs also in 
being irregular in shape, never cup-shaped, except when very 
young, whilst the other is always exactly cup-shaped, and 
stands on a short pedicle. Whether Mr. Hudson’s cyathoides 
be the elegant and very uncommon plant figured by Bolton 104, 
seems duel, neither Dillenius’s fig, nor short description in 
- the Synopsis at all elucidate the matter, and it certainly can ne- 
ver be called yellow. ‘The first of these is rather scarce, but the 
other is very common on decayed sticks under hedges in the 
spring. Mr. Bolton is certainly mistaken in asserting that his 
104 never emits any powder from its internal surface, for I have 
repeatedly by a slight irritation, caused the mature plants to 
throw out clouds of smoke. It ought, therefore, accordin 
to his principles, to have been placed with the Helvelle. Mr. 
Woopwaro.—Thinner, more spreading and more irregularly 
cupped than the preceding; sometimes quite sitting, with a 
small, nearly central root ; sometimes the root a pretty large 
black knob, and sometimes it forms a short stem. 
Helvella coccinea. Bolt, Pexiza coccinea. Bull. On the 
ground, smengst gravel and road sides; when it resembles the 
most sessile of the figures. Ionce found it on the stump of a 
tree, with more of a stem and less spread out, forming the con- 
nection between the two varieties. : Sait
