C. flagellaris E. & E. sp. nov.

 1894 {Nut tail, discov. 1762, 650). 



{C. lactea S. & E. partly, Sacc. No. 3550.) 



Sporodochia gregarious, subglobose, subhyaline and gelatinous 

 when fresh, lens-shaped, with a thin spreading margin, orbicular, 

 •33 to. 50 mm. diameter yellowish-amber color (whitish in the 

 center) when dry. Sporophores densely fasciculate, flagelliform 

 2 to 3 times dichotomously branched, 80 to 100 //long, separat- 

 ing into the short cylindrical, hyaline, 4 to 5 x i // conidia. 



This was included by Saccardo in Michelia II, p. 581, in Cylin- 

 drocolla lactea, S. &. E. (on rotten wood of Kalmia), but differs in 

 the shape and color of the sporodochia and the sporophores only 

 2 to 3 times dichotomously branch. C. lactea retains its white 

 color when dry, and resembles young Lasiosphceria ovina.
