  covered 
  by 
  the 
  epidermis, 
  

   then 
  forming 
  a 
  ring 
  by 
  the 
  falling 
  away 
  of 
  the 
  center 
  ; 
  spores 
  

   oblong 
  or

  The

  might 
  at 
  first 
  sight 
  be 
  taken 
  for 
  a 
  minute 
  black 
  

   Peziza. 
  The 
  spots 
  usually 
  occur 
  on 
  the 
  apical 
  half 
  or 
  on 
  the 
  

   margin 
  of 
  the 
  leaf, 
  but 
  sometimes 
  the 
  whole

  is 
  discolored.

  This 
  species 
  is 
  intermediate 
  between 
  M. 
  oblongum 
  and 
  M. 
  

   magnum, 
  the 
  spores 
  being 
  larger

  the
