We have three species, one of which is not among those of the 

 Outlines, where four are described. 



Genus 44. TTPHULA.t Fr. 

 Stem filiform ; flaccid ; terminated by a distinct, club-shaped

Genus 45. Pistillaria.J Fr. 

 Club-shaped ; waxy, then horny ; structure cellular. This genus 

 differs chiefly in its texture, which is entirely cellular, not 

 fibrillose like Typhula. Epiphytical fungi, some springing from 

 a sclerotioid base, others from an attenuated stem.

 P. Puberula, B. Sow., t. 334, fig. 2. Batheaston. 

 Two species out of five British.

nucleus ; sporophores large, simple, or divided ; spicules elon- 

 gated into threads. 



Genus 46. Tbemella. Fr. 

 Gelatinous ; tremulous ; immarginate ; hymenium not papillate, 

 surrounding the whole fungus. 

 Tremella Foliacea, P. Bull., t. 406, fig. a. Bristol.
