60 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



(not Phil., Disc., p. 385, if the measurement of the asci given 

 there are correct. 



Naevia scriata. Fckl., Symb. Myc., p. 249; Sacc., Syll., 

 viii. n. 2723 ; Eehm., Rr>Flora, Disc., p. 147. 



The above description accords with specimens in Madam 

 Libert's Plant. Crypt. Ard., Fasc. iii. n. 233 ; Phil, Elv. 

 Brit., n. 100 ; and Fuckel, Fung. Ehen., n. 1841. 



On the under side of dry leaves of Carex Mrta, and C. 

 ampullacea. 



Conidial stage. Conidia globose, hyaline, about 3 JJL 

 diameter, arranged in chains of 6-8 conidia, and not readily 

 breaking up. These moniliform chains are densely packed 

 side by side, and form patches indistinguishable from the 

 ascigerous forms under a pocket lens. The two stages are 

 mixed, in the specimens in Fuckel's Fung. Kehn., n. 1841, 

 and in all probability Fuckel mistook the chains of conidia 

 for spores in an ascus, as he describes what he considered to 

 be the ascigerous condition, as, " asci linear, sporidia 6-8, 

 globose, minute, hyaline." 



Phacidium clematidis. Phil., Grev., xvii. p. 46. 



Scattered or gregarious, erumpent, orbicular, minute, 

 splitting the epidermis into unequal laciniae ; hymeuium 

 pallid brown; asci clavate or clavate-fusiform ; spores 8, 

 linear-acute, 5-6-guttulate, straight, 35 x 4 /j. ; paraphyses 

 slenderly filiform. 



On dead branches of Clematis. Autumn. 



The cups are - of a line broad; asci 55-56 X 10 p.. 

 The margin is cut into short, unequal lacinae, or sometimes 

 only coarsely serrate. 



No specimen seen. 



TROCHILA. Fries, (figs. 39-44, p. 12.) 



Ascophore innate, thin, somewhat- coriaceous, covered at 

 first by the epidermis which is at length either ruptured 

 irregularly or splits in a circumscissile manner ; asci 

 elongate ; spores 8, 2-seriate, continuous, hyaline ; paraphyses 

 present; hypothecium firm, blackish.
