On dead Zucalyptus bark, Stanford University, Calif., 
Jan. 9, 1903. Collected by Copeland. Communicated by 
C. F. Baker as no. 2724. 
A beautiful species peculiar in the often clustered cups, the 
purplish tint of every part, andthe small spores. Dasyscypha 
Eucalypti (Berk.) Sacc., a purple species on Hucalyptus 
leaves in Tasmania, has larger (10-11 y) spores and hairs in 
the form of teeth, belonging therefore in Cyathicula. The 
fascicled cups suggest the genus Cordierites and the color 
suggests C. Spruces Berk., but the structure is in all other 
respects that of Zachnum. When dry the plant is purplish- 
black. 
MOLLISIACEAE. 
Mollisia papillata sp. nov. 
Ascomata scattered, black, cup-shaped, aa saa 
%-1 mm., sessile, margin conspicuously elevated and in 
rolled when dry, disc dark slate-color to nearly Black, penal 
cells polygonal, becoming elongated toward the margin where 
they end in crowded clavate papillae about 25 x 5 4; asci 
crowded, cylindrical, about 50x 4; paraphyses thread- 
hyaline, continuous, cylindrical, often somewhat curved, 
8-10 X 2p 
On old, weathered chips, foot-hills near Stanford Univer- 
sity, California, Jan. 1, 1902, C. F. Baker, no. 207. 
This is somewhat closely related to forms that have been 
referred to Mollesta melaleuca (Fr.) Sacc., but it is cupulate, 
not patellate, the disc is nearly black and the exterior is 
much more conspicuously roughened. 
TRYBLIDIACEAE. 
Tryblidium Garryae sp. nov. 
Ascocarps scattered, nearly or quite superficial, black, 
rough, patellate, margin obscure, about 1 mm. broad by 0.25 
mm. thick; asci clavate, long-stipitate, about 120 x 8 p13 
paraphyses thread-like, branched above; ascospores subdis- 
tichous, at first r-4-septate and hyaline, at length dark brown, 
IO or more septate and muriform, with numerous vertical 
divisions, usually somewhat curved, about 35 x 1
