 phella cinereo-fusca (Schw.) Sacc. Syll. Fung. 5: 674. 1888. 

 Lachnella cinereo-fusca (Schw.) Sacc. Syll. Fung. 8: 399.

 fuscous-bay. 



On decorticated branches of Cerds. [North Carolina.]

Translation of original description. 



I have not seen an authentic specimen of this species nor any- 

 thing on Cercis which seems referable to it. The species is 

 given here on the authority of Saccardo, I. c, who refers to this 

 species a Cyphella collected on Vitis vinifera near Toulouse, 

 France, by Roumeguere. Saccardo does not state that he 

 made comparison with an authentic specimen from Schweinitz, 

 and he has entered the species in the 'Sylloge Fungorum^ in 

 both the Basidiomycetes and the Discomycetes.
