84 BRANCHED CLAVARIAS. 
The yellowest of the Clavaria in this group (with the exception 
of C. crocea) is Clavaria aurea, which has a thick pallid trunk, 
divided into stout forking branches. It occurs in woods, but is 
considered rare. 
There are two ochraceous species still to be mentioned, both of 
which are uncommon: Clavaria flaccida, which is flaccid, as its 
name indicates, with a slender smooth trunk, and numerous con- 
verging branches; and Clavsariacrispula, which is not at all flac- 
cid, has a slender woolly trunk, and many spreading branches. 
The former occurs amongst moss in woods, and the latter at the 
base or in the hollows of trees. 
The most recent addition to the list of British Clavariea is 
C. formosa. It is a large thick stemmed species, divided into 
numerous long, thick, erect branches, each of which is again 
much subdivided at the apex. The colour is yellowish. It was 
found by C. E. Broome, Esq., near Bristol. 
Uninteresting as this bare enumeration of species may be to 
the general reader, one feels some satisfaction in the hope that it 
may prove useful, and be the means of inducing those to look for 
Clavarias who never looked before, and those who always looked 
to look the more. Should only half a dozen Clavarie not known 
at the present to flourish in this county be hereafter identified 
through the medium of these two chapters, that alone would 
recompense the writer for his little effort.

Doss it not seem to you, that there must surely be many 
a thing worth looking at earnestly, and thinking over earnestly, 
in a world like this, about the making of the least part 
whereof Gop has employed ages and ages, further back than 
wisdom can guess or imagination picture, and upholds that 
least part every moment by laws and forces so complex 
and so wonderful, that science, when it tries to fathom them, 
can only learn how little it can learn?—Rry. C. Kinasiey.
