126 FUNGUS-FLOEA. 



On "bark of Acer pseudoplatanus. October. 

 The cups are ^ J line broad, rarely single, erumpent, and 

 remarkable for their hoary whiteness. (Phillips.) 

 Unknown to me. 



Scleroderris cinnamomea. Mass. 



Solitary or caespitose, sessile or substipitate, disc plane or 

 convex, cinnamon-yellow, a little pulverulent beneath ; asci 

 clavate; spores 8, oblong, rounded at the ends, unequal- 

 sided, 2- to 3-guttulate, at length 1- to 3-pseudo-septate, 

 20-30 x 8-10 p. ; paraphyses filiform, slender.

On maple bark. 



A somewhat uncertain species, of which I have not seen a 

 specimen. In the above description from Phillips, the spores 

 are said to be "pseudo-septate," whereas in the figure in 

 Brit. Disc., pi. x. fig. 65, some of the spores are distinctly 

 and strongly 3-septate. Phillips considers this to be the 

 Peziza cinnamomea, D. C., Flor. Fr., p. 13. Kehrn, on the 

 other hand, quotes Phillips's species under Dermatea alni, 

 Eehm, with a query. Saccardo Syll., viii. n. 1294, on the 

 other hand, quotes the plant of Phillips under Pezicula 

 cinnamomea, Sacc., which in turn is considered as being 

 identical with Peziza cinnamomea, D. C. 



** Growing on Gymnosperms. 



Scleroderris amphibola. Gillet, Disc. Fr., p. 198; 

 Sacc., Syll., viii. n. 2465. 



Erumpent, soon quite superficial; usually scattered and 

 solitary, rarely in small groups; sessile, attached by a 

 central point, at first closed and subglobose, then expanding 

 and becoming concave, finally plane or slightly convex, 

 immarginate, black, slightly rugulose ; excipulum formed of 

 parallel, septate, olive hyphae, that become darker in colour 

 and parenchymatous at the surface ; asci clavate, apex 

 rounded, wall thick upwards, narrowed and usually bent at 

 the base, 8-spored ; spores irregularly 2-seriate, or sometimes 

 1-seriate, narrowly fusiform, straight or slightly curved, 

 hyaline, 3-5-septate, 16-22 X 3-3 '5 p.; paraphyses a little
