species; it is marked by the resupinate-reflexed habit of most 
fructifications; only rarely is a fructification attached by its 
vertex. The dried specimens are externally minutely fibrillose 
under a lens but do not show hairs in microscopic preparations. 
When the fructifications are moistened the hymenium shows 
two or three minute wrinkles radiating from an eccentric point. 
Specimens examined: 
Jamaica: Cinchona, W. A. and Edna L. Murrill, N. Y. Bot. 
Gard., Fungi of Jamaica, 607, type. 
13. C. cupuleformis Berk. & Rav. Grevillea 2: 5. 1873.

Type: type and собуре in Kew Herb. and in Curtis Herb. 
respectively. 
Fructifications scattered, rarely in clusters of two or three, 
sessile, cup-shaped, somewhat globose, externally mineral gray 
and obscurely tomentose, the margin incurved; hymenium 
concave, even, fuscous; basidia clavate, 20-25 x 4-6 y, having 
2-4 sterigmata which become finely attenuated; spores colorless, 
angular, 43-6 x 4% м. 
Fructifications 4 mm. high, 3-1 mm. broad. 
On bark of Juniperus virginiana. South Carolina and Georgia. 
Тһе hairiness of the exterior of the pileus is due to the irregu- 
larly curved and interwoven һурһе which form the surface 
layer of the pileus; these hyphe are colorless and about Зи in 
diameter, and they bear scattered but large incrusting granules. 
The angular spores of this species are often octahedral in form 
and are noteworthy for Cyphella; at maturity, they are attached 
to the basidium by sterigmata becoming 6 и long and so finely 
attenuated that the attachment of the spores to the basidia is 
made out with difficulty. This species may be readily known 
by its occurrence on bark of Juniperus virginiana and by its 
angular spores.
