 Baetridium fulvellum, B. 



NOTE. This was originally described apparently in Fungi Cubenses where 

 it is said to occur also in Venezuela. An examination of Wright's Cuban 

 specimen and Fendler's from Venezuela in Herb. Curtis shows that the 

 Venezuela and Cuban plants are not the same species. The Cuban specimen 

 in habit and microscopic structure is certainly very near to, -if not identical 

 with, Bactridium flavum. 



The Venezuela specimens are branching, coralloid masses about 6 mm. in 

 height and of a yellowish color. They are composed of a dense branching 

 mass of hyphze which branch dichotomo-corymbosely at the surface and 

 have tips bearing spores composed of 8 to 14 cells and measuring 280 /i to 

 300 n by 28 /J. to 35 fj. It is doubtful whether this species is properly placed 

 in the genus Baetridium.

NOTE. It seems to be generally agreed that Badhamia capsulifera, (Bull.) 

 B. and Badhamia hyalina, (P.) B. should be united. Didymium simulans, 

 Howe is united with this species on the authority of Peck. See also note 

 under Badhamia papaveracea, B. & Rav.
