BURT—THELEPHORACEJE OF NORTH AMERICA. ІП 379 
С. trachycheta Ell. & Ev. Jour. Мус. 4:73. 1888. 
Type: in New York Bot. Gard. Herb. 
Fructifications gregarious, sessile by а narrow base, white, 
cup-shaped, clothed outside with appressed hairs; hairs subhy- 
aline, very rough, with a smooth tapering tip 12-15 u long; hairs 
paler around the base of the fructification and coarsely roughened 
by irregularly shaped tubercles, some of which are prolonged 
into short spines; hymenium nearly white with a slight tinge of 
slate color; basidia and spores could not be well made out, but 
the latter are apparently very minute. 
Fructifications 300-4004 high and broad, occasionally 1 mm. 
broad and with the margin distinctly lobed. 
On fallen leaves of Quercus. Louisiana. July. 
The above description is arranged from that originally pub- 
lished. Iam under obligation to Dr. Murrill for recently send- 
ing to me a portion of the type for study, but the specimen 
proves too immature to show whether this species is а basidio- 
mycete. The hymenium of this specimen is now pale olive- 
buff; the hairs are 50-75 x 6 u, heavily encrusted except near the 
tips, but I failed to find any hairs roughened by tubercles or 
bearing spines. 
Specimens examined: 
Louisiana: A. B. Langlois, 1424, type (in N. Y. Bot. Gard. Herb.). 
C. Banana Cooke, Grevillea 6: 132. 1878. 
Type: probably in Kew Herb. 
Fructifications fuliginous or wood-brown, finger-shaped, 
pendulous-extended behind, glabrous, the margin entire; hy- 
menium white, rugose; spores linear, obtuse, curved, 10-12 x 
3 y. —Translation of original description. 
On dead leaves of Musa. Gainesville, Florida. Ravenel. 
C. filicicola Berk. & Curtis, Grevillea 2: 5. 1873. 
Type: type and cotype probably in Kew Herb. and Curtis 
Herb. respectively. 
Stem very short; cups irregular, sometimes oblique, externally 
very obscurely tomentose, umber. 
On dead fern. North Carolina. Curtis Herb., 4934, type. 
Тһе above contains all the items of the original description; I 
overlooked this species when studying in Curtis Herb. and in 
Kew Herb.
