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



"Small, 8-12 lines high, gregarious; stem slender, .5-1 line 

 thick, straight or flexuous, solid, tomentose, pale yellow, divided 

 above into two or more short, orange colored compressed branches 

 which are themselves once or twice dichotomously divided, tips 

 acute, concolorous. 



"Under pine trees. Bolton. September. 



"The rather tough tomentose stem indicates an affinity to the 

 genus Lachnocladium." 



The hymenial portion is now orange-cinnamon, rugulose and 

 waxy, and the stem chamois-colored, short tomentose in some 

 fructifications and fibrillose in others ; spores hyaline, subglobose, 

 3-4 [i in diameter, becoming distinctly rough. C. asperula and C. 

 asperulans should be compared with this species.

Fructifications fascicled with substance very tough, at length 

 somewhat horn-like, soon ramose-divided from the base; 

 branches compressed, dilated at the apex into almost a mem- 

 brane; branchlets minute, irregularly extended and then fim- 

 briate. Color alutaceous red. Does not exceed an inch in height. 



The specimen in Herb. Schweinitz is compressed, not fleshy 

 when moistened, and has the hymenium fuscous; basidia Ion-
