78 THE LARCH CANKER 
calls the fungus Dasyscypha calycina (Schum.), and gives the 
dimensions of the spores as 20X 8p. This, with the habitat 
of the fungus ‘an diirren berindeten Aesten von Larix 
europaea nicht selten im Herbst >, leaves no doubt that he 
was describing the canker fungus. 
It is on this description that the name Dasyscypha 
calycina must be founded, since it is the first about which 
no doubt can be entertained. Fuckel does not mention 
any other species of Dasyscypha which grows on conifers. 
Subsequent authors may be quoted in the usual way.
