Fig. 233. — Ty-los'to-ma lloyd'-i-i. (C. G. Lloyd). 



TYLOSTOMA LLOYDIL— Peridium dark, reddish brown, with a 

 thin, closely adnate cortex which separates perfectly above but persists 

 closely adnate at the base. Mouth at first raised, shield-shaped, fibrillose. 

 In old specimens these fibrils are worn away, leaving the mouth a naked 

 round, plane opening. Stem long, slender, with a dark, scaly, cortex. 

 Capillitium slightly colored, subhyaline, narrow threads with slightly 

 thickened nodes. Spores smooth, 4 mic. 



This is apparently a very rare and local form but is strongly different 

 from any other species known to me. Prof. W. H. Aikin collected the 

 plants several years ago in the vicinity of Cincinnati, Ohio, and brought 

 the specimens to me. I sent some to Rev. Bresadola who decided it to 

 be undescribed and published it recently (Ann. Mycologici, 1904, p. 423). 

 I have never received specimens from any other collector.
