  The 
  affinities 
  of 
  this 
  fungus 
  are 
  doubtful. 
  It 
  is 
  provisionally 
  

   referred 
  to 
  the 
  genus 
  Tremella, 
  although 
  the 
  central 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  sub- 
  

   stance 
  is 
  fleshy 
  rather 
  than 
  gelatinous. 
  The 
  plants 
  revive 
  on 
  the 
  

   application 
  of 
  moisture 
  and 
  when 
  moist 
  are 
  somewhat 
  tremelloid. 
  

   The 
  tufts 
  form 
  beautiful 
  little 
  rosettes.
