Rev. M. J. Berkeley and Mr. C. E. Broome on British Fungi. 127 



A most exquisite object under a moderate magnifier, resem- 

 bling some Actinia in miniature. Sporidia '001 inch long. 



Plate V. fig. 32. a. group^ magnified; h. ascus, magn. ; c. sporidia, 

 highly magnified. 



1170. P. (Mollisia) viburnicola, n. s. Subglobosa, dein hemi- 

 sphaerica, cinerea, extus granulata ; margine denticulate, furfu- 

 raceo ; hymenio pallidiore. 



On either side of dead leaves of Viburnum. Received from 

 England by A. Jerdon, Esq. 



Minute, punctiform, externally speckled with little dark tufts 

 of cells, which sometimes give out a few short flexuous hairs. 

 Asci clavate ; sporidia lanceolate, -OOOdj-'OOOS inch long. 



1171. P. (Mollisia) nervisequia, Desm. no. 2013. 



On leaves of Plantago lanceolata. St. Catharines, near Bath- 

 easton, Feb. 1852, C. E. Broome. 

 Sporidia -0004 inch long. 



1172. Stictis lecanora, Schm. & Kze. no. 174.

1173. P. (Patellea) Resina, Fr. Syst. vol. ii. p. 149. 

 On resin. Sparingly near Jedburgh, A. Jerdon, Esq. 



This appears to be a true Peziza from its mode of rooting into 

 the bark. 



1174. Helotiurnpruinosum,^exdi.'\n-\iii. Minutum, candidum, 

 sessile vel brevissime stipitatum totum albo pruinosum ; disco 

 pallide cameo; sporidiis elongato-cymbiformibus, 3-4-nucleatis. 



On Hypoxylon fuscum and stigma. Appin, Capt. Carmichael. 

 Jedburgh, A. Jerdon, Esq. 



The hymenium, which has sometimes a slight blush tinge, is 

 pruinose as well as the outer surface. Sporidia 'OOOG inch long. 

 Some of the specimens referred formerly to Peziza episphceria 

 certainly belong to this species, which was originally called 

 P. pruinosa by Capt. Carmichael. The same plant occurs at 

 Belvoir, with the sporidia •0004-*0005 inch long. 



Plate V. fig. 33. Sporidia, highly magnified. 



1175. Hijpomyces Broomeianus, Tul. Carp. iii. p. 108 {Hypo-

Plate V. fig. 34. a. thread with conidia, magnified ; b. conidia, 

 •0002-"0003 inch long, more highly magnified ; c. ascus, magn. ; d. spo- 

 ridia, 'OOOS-'OOOG inch long, highly magnified. 



*i7. ochraceus, Tul. Carp. iii. p. 41. 



This is, in all probability, Cryptomyces aurantia, Grev. t. 78. 

 Blastotrichum Puccinioides, Preuss,Sturm^8 Deutschl.ri.25 & 26, 

 tab. 11, is evidently a state of this or some closely allied species, 

 and has occurred at Batheaston. Hypomyces aurantius has been
