4022. On Robinia twigs on tree, January 24, 1920. Color watery milk with a 

 faint innk tint. Sjiores 7-9.7 fi in diameter, spherical (spore print on 

 slide), many budding and sending out i:)romyeelia to form a spore of 

 the same shape on the end just as in No. 3877. 



10. Tremella subanomala n. sp. 



Plate 58 



Pulvinate, convoluted, forming an apparently compound tuft 

 4x6 mm. and about 1.5 mm. thick ; color pallid brown to wine-brown ; 

 the surface appearing minutely granular under a lens ; texture very 

 firmly gelatinous, harder than any other species ; bursting through the 

 bark. 



Spores subspherical, remarkable in being compressed a little at 

 right angles to the mucro, 7.4-10/x in diameter, a few up to lljx. Ba- 

 sidia subspherical, a few oval or pyriform, not collapsing when emp- 

 tied, four-celled by longitudinal divisions, 13-17/x thick. 



This is like a plant on alder labelled T. hulgaroides E. & E. from 

 Canada (Macoun) at the New York Botanical Garden, but I cannot 

 find that this name was ever published. It is nearest Tremella cameo- 

 alba which differs in pinkish-white color, more gregarious growth, and 

 basidia that collapse after forming spores. It is not unlike T. anomala 

 M'oller (I.e. p. 120) in size, form, and color (up to 0.5 x 1.5 cm. ; color 

 smoky-yellow), but that has basidia 10/x thick and spores 6ju, thick.

11. Tremella moriformis Smith. 



T. color ai a Pk. 



This has so far not been reported from North Carolina (except by 

 Curtis as D. moriformis, probably from the S. C. collection by Kav- 

 enel), but it almost certainly occurs in the state and should be looked 

 for. I have prepared the following description from the good type 

 specimens of T. colorata Pk., from a collection of T. moriformis 

 from Bresadola (on Kobinia from the Trentino) and from a collection 

 from South Carolina in the Curtis Herbarium (Ravenel). See 

 Sowerby's English Botany 36:2446. 1812. 



Plant forming irregular, more or less anastomosing, pulvinate 

 patches extending more or less densely for several cms. on the wood,
