408 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 
thiekness, some arising from the base much thicker than others, 
homogeneous, of large, closely woven hyphae; spores borne ter- 
minally, mostly on 2-celled branches, globose, small, 6.54 in 
diameter, smooth, thick-walled. 
Under fallen leaves in oak woods, almost epigaeous. Not far 
from Orleans (Pare de Beauvoir near Brivodurum). Autumn. 
Hesse referred here a specimen in the Danziger Museum col- 
lected by Bail in Kreis Schwetz near Teufelsstein, October, 1878. 
From the above description it seems quite likely that this species 
is to be referred to Leucophlebs, where the small spores, yellow 
gleba, radiating elongated cavities, and rudimentary columella 
should serve to distinguish it from other members of this genus. 
However, we prefer not to make the transfer until we have the 
opportunity to study authentie material.
