About \ inch high when full-grown, stipitate, the stem 

 branching out or dividing into several heads, which form cups 

 resembling the genus Ditiola or lympanis; when young and 

 unbranched, resembling Solenia. The cups are often proliferous, 

 producing smaller cups on their surface, of a bright apricot-co- 

 lour, but whitish towards the margin. A figure of the proliferous 

 state will appear in the forthcoming number of the Linnsean
