DECADES OF FUNGI. 239 
molle crassiusculum carneum; margine demum libero. Curt. No. 
1220. 92 
Has. On fallen branches of Carya and Cercis Canadensis. North and 
South Carolina. 
At first forming little peltate orbicular spots, which as they dilate, 
become closely attached to the matrix, with the exception of the 
colour of raspberries and cream. .Hymenium often minutely pitted. 
Old specimens lose in great measure their ruddy hue, and are of a 
dead white 
A very m oum. of which a specimen from Central America was 
communicated by éveillé, in honour of whom it has been named. 
239. Guepinia Vice Berk. and Curt. ; pileo late spathulato tenuis- | 
simo fulvo velutino; stipite concolori subeylindzieo hirtello; hymenio 
succineo-fusco levi. Curt. i 
B. On decaying logs. Santee River. Mr. Ravenel. 
Pileus 4—4} an inch broad, broadly spathulate, or even flabelliform, 
vtile. lobed, HÀ tawny brown, obscurely ciliated, very thin. 
Stem subcylindrical, 4 of an inch high, 4 a line thick, tawny, clothed 
with rather coarser en than that of the pileus. Hymenium yellow- 
brown, even, at first obliquely subcupuleeform 
This exquisite production has somewhat the habit of Guepinia Hel- 
velloides, but differs in size, colour, and other points. It is one of the 
most interesting contributions to American Fungi. 
240. Coryne. gyrocephala, Berk. and Curt.; stipite crassiusculo 
albido; capitulo ex albido-carneo fusco cerebriformi. Curt. No. 1191. 
Has. On decaying logs in swamps. South Carolina. 
Gregarious, sometimes fasciculate, not rooting. Stem i of an inch 
high, dilated above, pubescent, dirty white; head convex, at first flesh 
coloured, then brownish, much waved and plaited. Filaments of hyme- 
nium often forked at the apex. 
Resembling in habit Ditiola radicata, but having the characters of 
Coryne. Unfortunately all the spores seem to have been washed off,
