from Fries labelled D. radicuta are not like my plants, but more like 

 small specimens of my Dacryopsis ceracea. Spores, if present, are 

 collapsed and shapeless. Plants in the same herbarium from Society 

 Hill, S. C, on pine labelled Ditiola gamhosa B. & C. looks just like 

 our collections, but no spores could be found. It is also to be noted 

 tiiat collections from Europe in New York Botanical Garden Herba- 

 rium are on old, decorticated, weathered wood, and seem different 

 from ours. 



This agrees well with Massee's description of Dacryopsis nuda 

 (Jour. Myc. 6 :182. 1891), and looks exactly like the figures of a plant 

 collected by Beardslee at Asheville and referred by Lloyd to D. nuda 

 (Myc. Notes 57 -Ml, figs. 1406-1408. 1919). According to Hennings's 

 description also our plant agrees better with D. nuda. He gives 

 spores of the latter as 4-celled, 5 x lAfx.

 4-celled, 6-7.4 x 12.9-16.6^.

2. Ditiola albizziae n. sp. 



Plate 64 



Very small, centrally attached by a point, scarcely stalked, spread- 

 ing out like a Peziza with the top flat, pale dull yellow (about clay 

 color), hardly 1.5 mm. broad at top and less than 1 mm. high. Texture 

 of cup waxy, toughish, the hymenium gelatinous ; not reviving well 

 when moistened. 



Spores elliptic, two-celled, 4.5 x 8.5-9.5/x. Basidia slender, two- 

 forked. See drawing. 



This cannot be D. sulcata Schw., as a specimen from his herbarium 

 (New England, Torrey) now in Curtis Herbarium has long, allantoid 

 spores, 7.5 x 34/x long.
