W. W. Strickland (Naturalist, vol. 14 (1889), pp. 192, 193) records 

 this species as B. pallida, Berk., from "The Grove," Boynton, July

 Boynton examined by him at the British Museum.] 



Badhamia decipiens Berk. 



Tansterne fox cover, on a piece of bark in the same ditch as 

 B. foliicola, Aug. 8, 1903. In the Journal of Botany, vol. 42, p. 130, 

 Mr. Lister writes:— "In Aug., 1903, Mr. Petch collected four reniform 

 plasmodiocarps of this species at Tansterne, Yorks. They are olive- 

 yellow, either uniform in colour or varied by yellow ridges or broken 

 bands formed by dense deposits of lime in the sporangium wall ; the 

 capillitium is of the true Badhamia character, consisting of a coarse 

 network of broad strands charged throughout with orange-yellow lime ; 

 the spores are purple-brown, spinulose, and slightly paler on one side,' 

 n-12^ diam. The specimen agrees closely with that from Montpellier, 

 and is the first British example we have known."
