f erred to as paler than T. mesenterica, whitish in youth. Brefeld 

 states the spores as being round with a point, colorless, 12-15/x thick. 

 He received one plant from a correspondent that he took to be 

 T. mesenterica. This was distinguished from T. liitescens by more 

 irregular, distally enlarged, more or less nodulated sterigmata. Spores 

 about the same as in T. liitescens (10-12// thick) but sprouting with 

 much fewer projections than in the latter, (See also Tulasne in Ann. 

 Sc. Nat. 1853, Pis. 10 and 11). 



This is almost certainly T. mesenterica as understood by Schweinitz. 

 A specimen from him in the Curtis Herbarium is like my plants, ba- 

 sidia oval, 12-4-15 x 17-18/1,, surface of the plant smooth. Curtis' own 

 specimens labelled T. mesenterica (Society Hill, S. C, No. 1407, on 

 deciduous bark) are a Dacrymyces with eight-celled spores about 

 15.5-21.7/x long.

Plates 41 and 58 

 Orange-yellow, composed of a few thin, flat, crumpled lobes or 

 more folded and less plate-like, not hollow, making a clump 2.5 x 1.2 

 cm., and 7-10 mm. high, which is pinched at the base and attached by 

 a line; not rooted; lobes when distinct about 1mm. thick, surface 

 nearly or quite glabrous. Texture firmly gelatinous ; flesh translucent 

 about color of surface. 



Sporidia oval or elliptic, orange-yellow, 1-2.5 x 3-5/x. Basidia sub- 

 spherical to oval, 16.5-18.5 x 20-23/x, irregularly divided into four
