those of C. Ravenelii and C. texensis in many respects, but the 
fructifications are much smaller and more numerous than in 
either of these species, and their various parts are also much 
smaller and some of the spores are colored.

Fructifications gregarious, sometimes fascicled, pezizoid, 
tawny olive; pileus stipitate, cup-shaped, extended vertically or 
pendulous, tomentose with tawny-olive, even-walled hairs 
which are flexuous or somewhat spirally curved towards the 
tips, the margin strongly inrolled; stem short, variable in length, 
cylindric, tomentose, colored like the pileus ; hymenium concave, 
even, drying olive-buff; spores hyaline, even, cylindric, slightly 
curved, 7-9 x 2-21 u, borne four to a basidium. 
Fasciculate clusters about 2 mm. in diameter, 1 mm. high; 
fructifications 3-1 mm. in diameter, 1-2 mm. high; stem 1-1 
mm. long, 3-1 mm. thick. 
On bark of twigs of Alnus in swamps and rarely on Prunus 
virginiana and Pyrus Malus. Canada and Newfoundland to 
South Carolina and westward to Wisconsin. Throughout the 
year, more highly fasciculate from autumn to spring. Common. 
This fungus is very common on dead twigs of Alnus in swamps. 
The color is similar to that of Solenia anomala but the fructifi- 
cations are rather larger and more cup-shaped than those of the 
latter and have the hymenium merely concave rather than lining 
a tube. "The fructifications burst out through the outer bark
