Sarcoscypha gregaria Cooke, Mycogr. 69. pi. 32. fig. 123. 1879. 



Gregarious, sessile, first globose then hemispherical to expanded, 

 fleshy, up to 2 mm. in diameter; margin involute, fringed with long, 

 brown, septate, slender, thick walled, tapering setae ; exterior brown- 

 ish ; hymenium greyish, even ; spores elongate elliptical, slightly 

 acute, hyaline, mainly guttulate, verrucose, continuous, 18-20 x 9- 

 10 mic. ; paraphyses slender, septate, very slightly clavate. 



On ground: Washington, Sept. 1907, Hone 847. 



Growing as this species does with L. hemisphaerica Gill., it seems 

 very much like a miniature form of the latter, but the spores are 

 strongly verrucose and acute as Cooke figures them. The speci- 

 mens differ from L. albo-spadicea in slightly smaller and strongly 

 verrucose spores. Both species mentioned grow in company with 

 L. hemisphaerica and may easily be mistaken for miniature forms 

 of it. 



Exsiccati: Thiimen, Myc. Uni. 2209 {Humaria gregaria Rehm) ; 

 Krieger, Fungi, sax. 1628. The spores agree in size and shape 

 but are smooth, while the Minnesota material has beautifully ver- 

 rucose spores. The former are undoubtedly young stages: Plates:

Peziza rubra Cooke, Mycogr. pi. 30. fig. 152. 1879. 



Single or gregarious, fleshy, sessile, subglobose and closed when 

 young, becoming expanded with margin elevated, up to 3 mm. in 

 diameter ; margin entire ; exterior and margin sparingly covered 

 with, short smooth, brown, thick-walled, 2-4 septate tapering setae, 

 10 mic. wide ; spores broadly elliptical, obtuse, smooth, hyaline, con- 

 tinuous, eguttulate, coarsely granulate, 16-18x10-12 mic. ; para- 

 physes clavate, 10-12 mic. wide.
