Peziza Tilie Peck, Rep. N. Y. State Mus. 24: 96. 1872.— 
Trichopeziza Те (Peck) Sacc. Syll. Fung. 8: 428. 1889; 
Seaver, Proc. Iowa Acad. Sci. 12: 116. 1905; Mycologia 1: 
110. 1909. 
Type: in Collection New York State and a portion from it in 
Kew Herbarium. 
Fructifications gregarious, rather fleshy, minute, sessile or 
nearly so but with firm base, white, globose, then expanded and 
concave, drying cup-shaped, densely white villose; hairs straight, 
cylindric, granular incrusted, 200 x 6 4; hymenium concave, 
even, ivory-yellow to vinaceous buff; spores white in a collec- 
tion on a slide, simple, even, ovate, somewhat curved, 12-18 x 
6-64 м, borne four to a basidium. 
Fructifications 3-1 mm. high, 1-1 mm. broad; stem, when 
present, about one-half the height of the whole fructification. 
On bark of dead branches of Tilia Americana and Ulmus on 
the ground. Canada and Vermont westward to Missouri. 
March to October. Probably common. 
C. Tilie has somewhat the habit of C. albo-violascens but 
differs from the latter in having no violaceous tints, in being 
more hairy, in having slenderer spores, and in having at the 
base а very firm tubercle which offers considerable resistance 
when the fructification is crushed under a cover glass or sec- 
tioned. While not cespitose the fructifications of C. Ті о are 
often so near together that seven or eight have been counted on 
an area а centimeter square. Ireferto C. Tiliæ many American 
specimens which have been distributed under the name C. pezi- 
zoides Zopf. The European specimens which Sydow has dis- 
tributed under the latter name seem to me from the studies and 
comparisons which I made in Kew Herbarium to be С. Currey 
В. & Br. rather than C. Tilia.
