BURT — THE NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF CLAVARIA 63i 



dichotomously very much branched; the branchlets spreading 



hat flc 



See 



Fig. 2. 



"On the ground in woods; rare. Trunk white, an inch and a 

 half in height and 1 inch thick; branches and branchlets ochrace- 

 ous, 2-3 inches longer-, with an extent of 3 or 4 inches. The 

 peculiar feature is the spreading branches curving outward and 



upward." 



In the paper cited, Morgan stated that the spores of this 



species are ochraceous. and he located the species in the group 



with C. jormosa and C. aurea but did not give dimensions of the 



spores nor whether even or rough. I have been unable to obtain 



this needed information, because Professor Wylie kindly informs 



me that no specimen of C. incurvata can be found in Morgan 



Herbarium, which now belongs to the University of Jowa. On the 



possibility that Morgan might have given a specimen of the 



spores to Farlow, Peck, or Ellis, 1 sought in their herbaria for 

 such an authentic specimen but did not find one.

Miss Wakefield could not find the type of this species in Kew 

 Herb.; I have been unable to find it in the Ellis Coll. in N. Y. 

 Bot. Gard. Herb, or in Farlow Herb.
