spores of which have granular contents, and might have 

 appeared to be rough. 



SPECIES EXCLUDENDAE. 



C. Ardenia Sow., Col. Fig. tab. 215. = C. fistidosa. 



C. aurea Ft., Epicr. p. 574. None of the British specimens 

 seen can be satisfactorily distinguished from C. flava. The 

 statement by Fries that C. aurea differs from C. flava in its 

 coloured spores cannot be maintained, since as already pointed 

 out the spores of all in this section are coloured. The further 

 distinction of habitat is of no value, as C. flava occurs in both 

 coniferous and frondose woods. 



C. canaliculata Fr., Obs. 2, p. 294. = C. rugosa. 



C. chio)iea Pers., Myc. Eur. i. p. 167. = C. Kunzei. 



C. ceranoides Pers., Syn. p. 594. This was founded on 

 Sowerby, tab. 235, which is obviously a form of C. fusiformis. 



C. coralloides Linn., Flor. Suec, ed. 2, 1755, p. 457. 

 At first applied to various branched species, but the name 

 appears to have been used by Fries and others for large forms 

 of C. cristata. 



C. condeiisata Fr., Epicr. p. 575. Indeterminable. 



C. crassa Britz., Hymenomycet. aus Siidbayern, 1885, p. 286. 

 Has the form and spores of C. rugosa, but was said to be tinged 

 violet. Probably = C. rugosa. 



C. crispula Fr., Syst. Myc. i. p. 470. Indeterminable. 



C. crocea Pers., Icon, et Descr. p. 36, tab. 11, fig. 6, Inde- 

 terminable. 



C. curta Fr., Monogr. ii. p. 281. Indeterminable. 



C. dissipahilis Britz., Hymenomycet. aus Siidbayern, 1885, 

 p. 289. = C. inaequalis. 



C. falcata Pers., Comment, p. 81. ^ C. acuta? (See these 

 Trans, iii. p. 32.) 



C.fllicina Sacc. et Syd., Syll. xiv. p. 238; C. cervina W. G. 

 Smith, in Journ. of Bot. 1873, p. 66. Apparently a good species, 

 but doubtless an introduced plant, and therefore not included 

 in this account of British forms. 



C. flavipes Pers., Comment, p. 75. Indeterminable. (See 

 these Trans, iii. p. 266.) 



C. fragilis Holmsk., Beata ruris, p. 7, tabs. 2 and 3. The 

 right-hand figure of tab. 2 is C. vermicular is: The other 

 simple white forms in tab. 2 and the yellow forms in tab. 3 

 are not identifiable with certainty from the figures alone, and 

 the name should be dropped. 



C. grisea Pers.. Comment, p. 44. = C. cinerea. (See these 

 Trans, iii. 1909, p. 184.)
