ish scales or granules; spores greenish-ochre, filling almost the

DicryDIUM MAGNUM 2. sp. 
Peridium globose, thin, fragile, irregularly reticulated, purplish- 
blue, pruinose; stem elongated, filiform, whitish or straw color ; 
spores globose, black, z;5' in diameter.

lium. Center. October. 
The stems are 4’’-6” long, and in the dry specimens they become 
twisted and entangled so that it is difficult to separate a plant from 
the cluster. The peridia are about +,’ in diameter, rupture irre- 
gularly, are iridescent and look like small clusters of miniature 
grapes or little blue berries.
