Yellow fliarp-pointed Clavaria. Anglis, 



In woods and heaths among mols. X. 



This has no thick common bafe, like the two 

 laft, but is nearly of the fame fize throughout, 

 and of a yellow color. 



It is divided irregularly into many branches •, the 

 branches unequal in hei_,;ir, their f .'mmits 

 acutely forked, and fometimcs incurved. The 

 feeds are oval. 



Obs. It Hj.iy not be amifs, in this place, to take 

 i notice, that a modern writer has afferted the 



whole genus of Clavaria to belong to tht tribe 

 of Zoophytes ; that is, to the animal and not the 

 vegetable kingdom. According to his method, 

 he ranks them among the Vermes.^ under a fub- 

 divifion which he terms Fiingoja ofculis atomi- 

 feris., thereby underftanding them to be com- 

 pound animals, with many orifices on their 

 iurface, from which are protruded atoms or 



animalcule*
