GEOGLOSSUM PECKIANUM Cooke, Mycog., p. 5, fig. 5. 
S.W.—Among short grass in field eh of ae Druid’s 
Altar, near Bingley, Nov. 1910. Thos. Hebden. 
The only previous mention of this species having been found 
in Britain, is in “ Massee’s Mon. of the Geoglosseae,’ Anns. Bot., 
Vol. XI., pp. 250-1 (figs 42, 43, pl. XII.), where we read: 
“England (a specimen from Sowerby’s herbarium at Kew, 
called Geoglossum difforme).’ 
It has been found at two or three places in the United States, 
and is recorded from France. The following is an abridged 
’ description from Massee’s Monograph :— 
‘ Gregarious or tufted, black, viscid, 4-7 cm. high, glabrous, 
with the exception of the well-defined stem which is minutely 
squamulose, club narrowly lanceolate, slightly compressed. Asct 
narrowly elliptic-fusiform, 180-200 18-20p, pore blue with 
todine ; spores 8, fasciculate in the ascus, clear brownish-umber, 
linear-fusiod or subclavate, sometimes slightly curved, 7-septate 
at first, 15-septate when mature, 115-125 6-7»; paraphyses 
slender, septate, tips brownish, slightly thickened, variously curved 
and twisted.’ 
‘Apart from being glabrous, this species is almost indis- 
tinguishable from some forms of Geoglossum hirsutum.’ The 
Bingley specimens were only very slightly viscid. [To follow
