 fig. 6. On the ground, Wraxall, Som., C. E. Broome. 



368. Clavaria jmrpurea, Miill. Fl. Dan. t. 837. fig. 2. Abun- 

 dant in a grass-field at Tansor, Northamptonshire. 



This was formerly referred to Clav. rufa, * Fl. Dan./ by some 

 error, of which the origin is now inexplicable. 



369. Clavaria tenuipes, n. s. Gregaria, pusilla, clafvula inflata 

 rugosa pallido-argillacea ; stipite gracili flexuoso subdistincto. 

 On bare heathy ground on the borders of Sherwood Forest, Nov. 

 15, 1837. 



Not exceeding an inch in height. Head swollen, obovate, ru- 

 gose, pale clay-coloured, about i an inch high, rarely con- 

 fluent with the stem, which is quite smooth, flexuous and very 

 slender. 



Allied to Clav. fragiliSf but distinguished by its constantly in- 

 crassated head and less distinct flexuous stem.

370. Clavaria argillacea, Fr. Ep. p. 577. a. Leigh Wood near 

 Bristol, C. E. Broome ; New Brighton, Cheshire, on sandy pas- 

 tures, b. Collyweston, Norths., on bare ground in woods. 



Fries now unites C. argillacea, P., and C. fiavipes, P., under 

 one species, in which view we concur. 



371. Calocera glossoides, Fr. Ep. p. 582. Clavaria glossoides, 

 Pers. Comm. p. 68. On decayed oak, Leigh Wood near Bristol, 

 C. E. Broome. 



Composed of erect forked flocci. Spores oblong, oblique, 

 somewhat incurved, attached by a short pedicel. 



372. Tremella torta, Willd. Mag. fiir die Bot. vol. iv. p. 18. 

 Dacrymyces tortus, Fr. Ep. p. 592. Dacrymyces stillatus 0, Fr. 

 Syst. Myc. vol. ii. p. 250. On decorticated oak branches : very 

 common. 



This does not agree in structure with Dacrymyces, but is a true 

 Tremella. 



373. T. epigcea, n. s. Eff'usa gelatinosa gyroso-plicata Candida. 

 On the ground, Leigh Wood, Aug. 1848. 



Spreading over the naked soil, on which it forms a thin white 

 stratum, the surface of which is gyroso-plicate, and dusted with 

 the white spOres ; the inner substance is very soft and gelatinous. 

 This is a true Tremella and very difi'erent from Corticium viscosum.

374. Nematelia virescens, Corda, Ic. iii. t. 6. fig. 90. Dacry- 

 myces virescens, Fr. Syst. Myc. vol. ii. p. 229. Common on Ulex
