96 Twenty-fourth Report on the State Museum. 



Plant scarcely half a line broad. Rotten wood. Catsldll moun- 

 tains. July. 



Peziza. TiLiiE n. sp. 



Gregarious, minute, cup sessile, concave, externally densely 

 white villous, the disk pale yellow or cream colored, often con- 

 cealed by the inflexed hairs. 



Dead branches of Tilia Americana. Knowersville. July. 

 Yery different from P. tiliacea Fr. The largest cups are scarcely 

 half a line broad. 



Peziza Persoonii Moug. 



Stems of Equisetum hyemale. Center. JSTovember and May. 



Our plant is generally sessile and often crowded or tufted in its 

 mode of growth. When moist it is much expanded and flattened 

 on the disk. Further observation may show it to be a distinct 

 species. 



J^ODULARiA nov. gen. 



Receptacle fleshy ^ margined ; disk dusted with the spores; asci 



large., fixed ; paraphyses lyresent^ nodose or sub-moniliform. 



This genus is intermediate between Peziza and Patellaria. From 

 the former it is separated by the dusted hymenium and nodulose 

 paraphyses, from the latter by the presence of paraphyses. The 

 name is derived from the Latin nodulus^ and is given in allusion 

 to the little knots of the paraphyses. 



aS'oDULARIA BALSAMICOLA n. sp. 



Cups flattened, sessile, scattered or somewhat confluent, often 

 irregular, with a distinct, more or less flexuous, incurved margin, 

 externally pinkish white, slightly silky- villous ; disk luteous, incli- 

 ning to reddish or orange, whitish-dusted under a lens ; asci large;, 

 clavate, obtuse, somewhat irregular or flexuous ; paraphyses sub- 

 flexuous, with two or three moniliform nodes at the top ; spores 

 globose, echinulate. 



Dead branches of the balsam fir, Abies halsamea. Indian Lake. 

 October. (Plate 4, figs. 23-26.) 



The cups are l"-2" in diameter and are attached by a little point 

 . which penetrates the bark. 



Dermatea furftjracea Fr.
