This species is evidently allied to Clavana crispula and 

 byssiseda. It agrees more with our common forms of C lav aria 

 than those which arc peculiar to the Tropics." 



Although characters of the spores were not published it is 

 probable that this species might be rec< nized among Clavarias 



from Jamaica by the above description figure, and occurrence 

 on wood. ('. comvressa Schw. has nriontv.
