  The 
  species 
  is 
  apparently 
  related 
  to 
  D. 
  obovatum 
  Berk. 
  At 
  

   first 
  sight 
  the 
  tufts 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  erumpent, 
  but 
  upon 
  closer 
  

   inspection 
  they 
  are 
  seen 
  to 
  grow 
  upon 
  some 
  effete 
  erumpent 
  

   Sphseria. 
  In 
  some 
  instances 
  white 
  tufts 
  of 
  more 
  slender 
  branched 
  

   flocci 
  were 
  associated 
  with 
  the 
  others. 
  Perhaps 
  these 
  are 
  sterile 
  

   flocci 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  plant.

  Our 
  specimens 
  do 
  not 
  agree 
  well 
  with 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  this 
  

   species. 
  The 
  flocci 
  are 
  not 
  " 
  olive-brown 
  " 
  and 
  the 
  spores 
  are 
  

   cylindrical 
  rather 
  than 
  "fusiform," 
  but 
  as 
  they 
  exhibit 
  the 
  

   bristle 
  at 
  the 
  extremities 
  of 
  the 
  spores, 
  and 
  agree 
  essentially
