This extremel}' minute species is closely allied to L. miniata 

 (Cr.) de Not. and L. areolata Seav. It differs from the former in 

 its constantly minute size and more regular finer network on the 

 spores and from the latter in the absence of the peripheral 

 flange on the spore and in the paraphyses greatly exceeding the 

 asci and not being thickened above : it differs, moreover, from 

 both species in colour.

This species which macroscopically resembles C. iimhroriim 

 (Fr.) Bond., is well marked by the extremely coarse and large 

 reta on the spores which are enclosed each in a separate follicle 

 and by the presence in the fresh condition of a long fine cilium 

 such as occurs in the spores of Peziza aurantia Pers. Hennings 

 in Warburg's Monsunia, i, 1S79, p. 35 has described two species 

 of Lachnea from Java, L. appendiculata and L. Fleischeriana, 

 and von Hohnel in Sitzungsber. k. Akad. Wiss. Math.-Xat. Kl. 

 cxviii, Abt. I (1909), p. 396, a third species, L. folliculafa, also 

 from Java, which exhibit similar spore characters — gross re- 

 ticulations, ^^dth a follicle and appendages, von Hohnel remarks :
