combine the two, as the present species appears to differ in the 

 absence of a hypothallus.

 Didymium Weinmanni, Fr. 



Sporangia turbinate, very fragile, covered with grey meal, 

 stem short, with a yellow tinge, columella absent; spores 

 blackish. 



Didymium Weinmanni, Fr., S. M., iii., p. 121 ; Sacc., Syll., 

 n. 1331.

U. mcljtvUSbCTWrxvlrn. 



Didymium humile, Hanzl.

Hungary. 



Didymium fulvipes, Fr. , 



Stem compressed, sulcate, foxy-vermilion ; sporangium globose, 

 delicately villose, grey. 



Didymmm fidvipcs, Fr., Stirp. Femsj., p. 83 ; Fr., Gast, p. 24 ; 

 Sacc., Syll, 1323. 



Sweden. 



Stem and hypothallus resembling those of Hemiarcyria rubi- 

 formis, very unequal, compressed, subconfluent, longitudinally 

 sulcato-rugose, 2 mm. and more in length ; sporangium globose, 

 or slightly depressed, obtuse, often confluent, with a very 

 delicate grey villose covering ; columella absent ; threads brown. 

 (Fr.) 



The villose covering of the sporangium alluded to by Fries 

 would in all probability consist of a very subtle coating of a 

 pulverulent nature.
