Peritheeium amber-colored, with a faint brownish or reddish tinge, somewhat irr, in otltliiu 
through a spiral twist in the wall-cells, which are distinguished from one another by Might furroi ; slightly 
inflated toward the base, tapering to the broad blunt apex; the tip not at all distinguished; the basal and 
stalk-cells well developed, hyaline, the latter bent abruptly upward from it- insertion. I .sal cell of tli« 
receptacle small, hyaline on the anterior side just above the foot, but otherwise blackish brown or Opaque, 
bulging posteriorly above the foot; distally and posteriorly proliferous to form a straight, black, blunt 
finger-like outgrowth, which lies external to the appendage; the subbasal cell nearly hyaline, mbtri igu-
