 66 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 



pi. 5. f. 6, text j. 13. 1920, but not Clavaria bicolor Pk. 

 Type : in N. Y. State Mus. Herb. 



"Clubs 1-2 inches tall, gregarious, sparingly branched; stem 

 slender, hairy, fuscous or brown, the branches irregular, terete, 

 whitish, grayish, or cinereous, the tips acute or obtuse; spores 

 broadly elliptic or subglobose, .0003-00045 of an inch long, 

 .00024-.0003 broad. 



"In low swampy woods, usually among mosses. Sand Lake. 



"Id New York State Museum Report 24, page 82 this was 

 referred to Clavaria trichopus Pers. After seeing specimens of 

 it from other localities and finding it constantly differing from the 

 descriptions of that species, which is called "snowy white" and 

 is much branched, it has seemed to us to be distinct." 



The spores of the type are hyaline, even, subglobose, 8-9 X 

 7-7% n ; basidia with 2 sterigmata. Occurs in New Hampshire 

 and Massachusetts also.

Clavaria subcorticalis Schweinitz, Am. Phil. Soc. Trans. N. S. 



4: 182. 1832; Sacc. Syll. Fung. 6: 709. 1888. 



Type : in Herb. Schweinitz ; no duplicate in Curtis Herb. 



"Rarissime sub cortice reperta nionte Menango chunk, Jersey. 



"C. uncialis, caule brevi tenuori, ramoso-dilatata, ramis sub- 

 divaricatim furcatis, compressulis ; alutaceo-alba, valde pulveru- 

 lenta, et subvillosa. Apicibus ramorum acutis. ( ornu cervinum 

 aemulat." } 



The fructification is now between light buff and warm huff, 

 few-branched dichotomously, with the axils rounded, surface 

 clothed with a minutely subtomentose covering of matted fibers. 

 When moistened the texture does not seem fleshy enough for a 

 Clavaria; the hyphae are thin-walled, collapse* 1, about 3u in 

 diameter, apparently nodose septate. No basidia found in a pre- 

 paration and only three spores, two of which are hyaline, rough, 

 7-9 X4 1 /} -6 u and the other, hyaline, even, 9X6 p. These spores 

 are so few in number that they may not have been borne by this 

 specimen. 



As no basidia were found, it may be that C. subcorticalis is a 

 Tremellodendron. The aspect of this species is so distinctive that 

 future collections should be recognized by the accompanying 

 figure.
