Fam. VI. TREMELLIN^, Fries. 

 Genus XXXIV. TREMELLA. Persoou. 



1 T. FOLiACEA. Pers, 



2 — 3 broad. 1 — Ij high. Substance between cartilaginous 

 and gelatinous. Densely tufted ; lobes thin, diaphanous, 

 folded at the base, flesh-coloured, with a tinge of cinnamon, 

 On a stump, Eastham Wood. Found by Mr. F. P. ilarratt. 



2 T. MESENTERICA. EetZ. 



Spores small, round. Substance at length soft, gelatinous ; 

 very variable in size and shape, often forming masses the size 

 of a walnut ; surface gyroso-plicate, golden-colovired. On de- 

 caj'ed trunks and branches of trees. On the stems of Ulex 

 Em-op<BUS occurs a plant, which, in the E.F., is referred to this 

 species. I have, therefore, not ventured to give it another name, 

 though its firmer substance, sub-ccespitose habit of growth, 

 distinct compressed lobes, and full bright orange colour, seem 

 to indicate, at least, an affinity with T. aurantia. Schwein. 



3 T. ALBiDA. Smith. 



Spores narrow, curved ; substance very tender, transparent, 

 nearly colourless, often in clusters the size of a filbert, surface 

 slightly and bluntly gyroso-plicate. Common on decayed 

 sticks in damp places. 



4 T. SARCOIDES. With. 



Growth at first in little distinct club-shaped bodies, which at 

 length are compressed, and finally unite, forming a somewhat 

 gyroso-plicate mass, sometimes attaining the size of a penny : 

 J— -f of an inch in depth. Purple-flesh-colour Very common 

 <^n timber, &c .
