56 Rev. M.J. Berkeley and Mr. C. E. Broome on British Fungi. 
*Sparassis crispa, Fr. Ep. p. 570; Hogg & Johns. tab. 24. 
Three large specimens of this noble addition to our flora 
occurred at Didlington, near Brandon, whence it was sent by 
Admiral Mitford. 
1140. Calocera striata, Fr. Ep. p. 582. 
On a prostrate trunk. Batheaston, March 10, 1846, C. E. 
Broome. 
Exactly agreeing with Hoffmann’s figure. A very rare plant, 
which has very seldom been seen by botanists. Spores ‘0003 inch 
long, 00025 broad. 
1141, Apyrenium armeniacum, n.s. Receptaculo lobato, sub- 
gelatinoso, armeniaco, e filis ramosis, apice sporiferis, oriundo ; 
sporis obovatis, enucleatis. 
On oak sticks, bursting through Corticiwm cinereum. Charmy 
Down, near Batheaston, Oct. 1865. 
Spores ‘0003-0005 inch long. This little fungus, though 
Tremelloid, has not the structure of Tremella. Pyrenium lig- 
natile, Tode, is now pronounced by Tulasne to be a state of 
Hypocrea rufa. Our plant may possibly be a condition of H. 
gelatinusa ; but, even should this prove to be the case, it is well 
in the meantime that it should be recorded. 
Puate II. fig. 2. Spores on their sporophores, highly magnified. 
1142. Reticularia applanata,n.s. Effusa, tenuis, olivaceo- 
fusca; sporis olivaceis, echinulatis. 
On the fallen trunk of a tree, the surface of which had been 
charred. Ascot, Nov. 22, 1865. 
Resembling in habit Licea applanata. Surface reticulated as 
in R. maxima. Spores 4-7, in a fascicle, connate, echinulate, 
‘0005 inch in diameter. 
Puate II. fig. 3. a. part of the peridium, with the irregular flocci 
proceeding from it, magnified ; a’. part of the peridium seen from above, 
stretching over the processes which run down from it, ditto; 5. spores, 
more highly magnified, in groups and separate. 
1143. Trichia flagellifer, n.s. Globosa, sessilis, metallica ; 
floccis apice flagelliferis ; sporis carneis. 
On spruce fir. Badminton, Dec. 1865. 
Perfectly globose, but fixed only by a small portion of the 
surface, which slightly projects, smooth, bay, reflecting metallic 
tints like a Physarum; flocci divided above two or three times ; 
spores ‘0003—-0004 in diameter. 
Perfectly distinct from every other Trichia by the colour of 
the spores and metallic coat, in addition to the flagelliform 
threads. 
Puare II. fig. 4. a. single plant, magnified; }. threads, magnified ; 
c. ditto, more highly magnified ; d. spores, magnified.
