Rev. M. J. Berkeley and Mr. C. E. Broome on British Fungi. 127 
A most exquisite object under a moderate magnifier, resem- 
bling some Actinia in miniature. Sporidia ‘001 inch long. 
Puate V. fig. 32. a. group, magnified; 5. ascus, magn. ; c. sporidia, 
highly magnified. 
1170. P. (Mollisia) vburnicola, n.s. Subglobosa, dein hemi- 
spherica, cinerea, extus granulata; margine denticulato, furfu- 
raceo ; hymenio pallidiore. 
On either side of dead leaves of Viburnum. Received from 
England by A. Jerdon, Esq. 
Minute, punctiform, externally speckled with little dark tufts 
of cells, which sometimes give out a few short flexuous hairs. 
Asci clavate; sporicia lanceolate, ‘0004—:0005 inch long. 
1171. P. (Mollisia) nerviseguia, Desm. no. 2012. 
On leaves of Plantago lanceolata. St. Catharines, near Bath-

On resin. Sparingly near Jedburgh, A. Jerdon, Esq. 
This appears to be a true Peziza from its mode of rooting into 
the bark. 
1174. Helotiwm pruinosum, Jerd.in litt. Minutum, candidum, 
sessile vel brevissime stipitatum totum albo pruinosum; disco 
pallide carneo ; sporidiis elongato-cymbiformibus, 3—4-nucleatis. 
On Hypoxylon fuscum and stigma. Appin, Capt. Carmichael. 
Jedburgh, A. Jerdon, Esq. 
The hymenium, which has sometimes a slight blush tinge, is 
pruinose as well as the outer surface. Sporidia ‘0006 inch long. 
Some of the specimens referred formerly to Peziza epispheria 
certainly belong to this species, which was originally called 
P. pruinosa by Capt. Carmichael. The same plant occurs at 
Belvoir, with the sporidia -0004—-0005 inch long. 
Puate V. fig. 33. Sporidia, highly magnified. 
1175. Hypomyces Broomeianus, Tul. Carp. i. p. 108 (Hypo- 
crea luteo-virens, Rabenh. no. 751).

Puate V. fig. 34. a. thread with conidia, magnified; 6. conidia, 
*0002--0003 inch long, more highly magnified; ¢. ascus, magn. ; d. spo-

This is, in all probability, Cryptomyces aurantia, Grev. t. 78. 
Blastotrichum Puccinioides, Preuss, Sturm’s Deutschl. F].25 & 26, 
tab. 11, is evidently a state of this or some closely allied species, 
and has occurred at Batheaston. Hypomyces aurantius has been
