  TWENTY-NINTH 
  REPOKT 
  ON 
  THE 
  STATE 
  MUSEUM. 
  

  

  separated 
  by 
  its 
  spores 
  paraphyses 
  and 
  somewhat 
  porous 
  club. 
  From 
  

   G. 
  glabrum 
  it 
  is 
  at 
  once 
  distinguished 
  by 
  its 
  glabrous 
  stem 
  and 
  the 
  

   longer, 
  not 
  moniliform, 
  terminal 
  joints 
  of 
  the 
  paraphyses. 
  Its 
  spores 
  

   scarcely 
  differ 
  i'rom 
  those 
  of 
  G. 
  glabrum 
  except 
  in 
  being 
  more 
  narrow. 
  

  

  The 
  spores 
  of 
  G. 
  glabrum 
  having 
  been 
  described 
  in 
  the 
  Handbook 
  

   as 
  three 
  to 
  four-septate, 
  I 
  was 
  led 
  to 
  consider 
  a 
  similar 
  plant 
  with 
  

   seven-septate 
  spores 
  as 
  distinct 
  and 
  described 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  25th 
  Report 
  

   under 
  the 
  name 
  Geoglossum 
  simile. 
  But 
  the 
  description 
  on 
  which 
  I 
  

   relied 
  proves 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  erroneous, 
  and 
  the 
  spores 
  of 
  G. 
  glabrum 
  

   have 
  since 
  been 
  published 
  as 
  seven 
  septate, 
  so 
  that 
  G. 
  simile 
  of 
  the 
  

   25th 
  Report 
  becomes 
  a 
  synonym 
  of 
  G. 
  glabrum. 
  

  

  The 
  application 
  of 
  the 
  specific 
  name 
  glabrum 
  to 
  the 
  plant 
  desig- 
  

   nated 
  by 
  it 
  is 
  unfortunate 
  and 
  liable 
  to 
  mislead 
  the 
  student, 
  for 
  the 
  

   stem 
  is 
  covered 
  by 
  a 
  kind 
  of 
  minutely-tufted 
  tomentum 
  of 
  matted 
  

   septate 
  filaments, 
  which, 
  with 
  the 
  projecting 
  masses 
  of 
  spores 
  from 
  

   the 
  mature 
  club, 
  give 
  the 
  plant 
  a 
  scarcely 
  less 
  hairy 
  aspect 
  than 
  that 
  

   of 
  Geoglossum 
  hirsutum. 
  

  

  Peziza 
  imperialis 
  n. 
  sp. 
  

  

  Bright 
  sulphur-yellow 
  ; 
  cups 
  irregular, 
  six 
  to 
  twelve 
  lines 
  broad, 
  

   often 
  split 
  on 
  one 
  side, 
  with 
  the 
  margin 
  incurved, 
  externally 
  pruinose- 
  

   tomentose, 
  the 
  disk 
  glabrous, 
  becoming 
  slightly 
  orange-tinted 
  in 
  dry- 
  

   ing; 
  stem 
  thick, 
  somewhat 
  lacunose, 
  usually 
  narrowed 
  at 
  the 
  top, 
  

   four 
  to 
  eight 
  lines 
  high 
  ; 
  asci 
  cylindrical 
  ; 
  spores 
  elliptical, 
  .0004' 
  long, 
  

   .0002' 
  broad 
  ; 
  paraphyses 
  filiform, 
  slightly 
  thickened 
  at 
  the 
  top. 
  

  

  Ground 
  in 
  woods. 
  Greig. 
  September. 
  

  

  In 
  consequence 
  of 
  the 
  bright 
  color 
  the 
  plant 
  is 
  quite 
  showy. 
  The 
  

   external 
  pruinosity 
  is 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  a 
  minute 
  tomentum. 
  

   The 
  species 
  is 
  apparently 
  allied 
  to 
  P. 
  sordescens 
  B. 
  & 
  C, 
  but 
  unless 
  

   that 
  species 
  is 
  badly 
  described 
  our 
  plant 
  must 
  be 
  distinct.
