142 Thirty-fifth Report on" the State Museum. 



Spots small, angular, reddish-brown, a little paler on the lower 

 surface ; flocci hypophyllous, tufted, short, slightly colored ; 

 spores fusiform or oblong-cylindrical, colorless, -0005 — 0014' 

 long. 



Living leaves of witch-hazel, Hamamelis Virginica. Sand- 

 lake. July. 



Though the spots are distinct enough, the fungus is so minute 

 that it is scarcely visible to the naked eye. 

 Ramularia aquatilis, n. sp. 



Spots small, pale; flocci epiphyllous, tufted, very slender, short, 

 flexuous, white, -0003' — 0006' long; spores subfiliform, nar- 

 rowed toward one end, sometimes three to four-nucleate, color- 

 less, -0008' — 0012 long, -0001' — 00012' broad. 



Living leaves of pond- weed, Potamogeton lonchites. Albany. 

 September. 



The tufts are numerous and very small and white. When 

 magnified they have a stellate appearance, the spores diverging 

 like rays from the central mass of flocci. 



ASTEROPHORA PEZIZA, Cd. 



Hymenium of Peziza hemispherica. Center. July. 



This fungus covers the inner surface of the Peziza with a white 

 stratum of slender filaments and stellately warted spores. 

 Peziza ljstirubra, Che. 



Decaying leaves lying on damp, sandy soil. Center. Septem- 

 ber. ' 

 Peziza (Mollisia) singularia, n. sp. 



Cups minute, waxy, sessile, flattened or convex, not distinctly 

 margined, seated on irregular, indefinite pallid spots, dingy-gray 

 or pale amber-brown; asci cylindrico-clavate, • 002' — 003' long, 

 • 0003' — 0004' broad; spores crowded or biseriate, colorless, ob- 

 long, sometimes slightly narrowed toward one end, -0005— -0006' 

 long, -00016' — 0002' broad; paraphyses filiform, scarcely thick- 

 ened at the apex. 



Under surface of living leaves of hispid crowfoot, Ranunculus 

 hispidus. East Berne. August. 



This is one of the few species of Peziza that attack living plants. 

 Sometimes the cups, or rather the receptacles, are confluent and 

 irregular. Perhaps a form of Pseudopeziza Ranunculi, Pckl. 

 Tympanis Nemopanthis, n. sp. 



Receptacles minute, densely tufted, substipitate, black, at first 

 sphaeriiform and* opening by a slight irregular chink, then with 

 the disk exposed, slightly margined, concave or plane ; asci
