Mr. W. Summerby. 
Resembling P. vesiculosa, but distinguished by the brown 
hymenium and verrucose cup. Sporidia ‘00075-0008 inch 
long; in P. vesiculosa -0009.

It is almost impossible to make out the red Pezizas of the 
tribe Humaria without specimens, as by far the best characters 
are derived from the fruit. We have now authentic specimens 
of this plant before us, and find that our Peziza humosa is this 
species. The sporidia, when perfectly developed, are strongly 
echinulate, with one or more (rarely two) nuclei, and.:001 inch 
long.

1155. P. (Humaria) aggregata, nu. s. “Gregaria, confluens, 
obconica, aurantia, basi albo-tomentosa; hymenio concavo; 
sporidiis fusiformibus. 
On heathy ground. Bewick, Dr. Johnson. 
The peculiar crowded habit and fusiform sporidia, 0008 inch 
long by -0008 wide, easily distinguish this species. 
1156. P. (Humaria) subhirsuta, Schum. Sel. p. 433. 
On the ground. Batheaston, C. EK. Broome. 
Asci linear; sporidia smooth, elliptic, enucleate, ‘0006 inch 
long; paraphyses slightly clavate. 
Puate III. fig. 14. a@. ascus with paraphysis, magnified; 0. sporidia, 
more highly magnified. 
*P,(Humaria) humosa, Fr. Kp. p. 71. 
This in turn is what is called P. Polytricht under no. 768. 
Sporidia variable in size, ‘0006--001 inch long, by ‘0003-0005 
broad; paraphyses forked. P. Polytrichi will still remain for 
the Scotch plant. 
Subjoined are sketches of the fruit of P. lewcoloma, of which, 
it may be observed, some specimens belong to Ascobolus Crouant, 
Cooke, and of P. fibrillosa, Curr., found at Hanham, which 
resembles externally P. humosa. 
Prate III. fig. 15. a@. ascus with paraphyses, magnified; 9. sporidia, 
more highly magnified. The plant from which the dissections were taken 
was gathered at Hanham. ‘
