  The 
  changes 
  in 
  color, 
  when 
  bruised, 
  is 
  an 
  interesting 
  charac- 
  

   ter. 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  related 
  to 
  P. 
  hyalina 
  and 
  perhaps 
  more 
  

   closely 
  to 
  P. 
  aspidiicola, 
  and 
  is 
  therefore 
  placed 
  among 
  the 
  

   Dasyscyphse, 
  although 
  there 
  is 
  scarcely 
  any 
  appearance 
  of 
  

   hairiness 
  on 
  the 
  cups.

  The 
  cups 
  sometimes 
  have 
  a 
  thick 
  tumid 
  margin. 
  In 
  some 
  

   respects 
  the 
  species 
  resembles 
  P. 
  hcemastigma. 
  It 
  appears 
  to 
  

   belong 
  to 
  the 
  subgenus 
  Humaria, 
  but 
  the 
  habitat 
  is 
  unusual.
