COEY^■E. Tul. (figs. 4-7, p. 15(3.) 



Ascophore fleshy-gelatinous, sessile or narrowed below 

 into a short, stem-like base, globose at first then becoming 

 turbinate, disc plane or sometimes slightly convex ; glabrous ; 

 asci cylindric-clavate, 8 spored ; spores hyaline, at length 

 2-manT-septate ; paraphyses present. 



Coryne, Tulasne, Carp., iii. p. 190 ; emended by Saccardo 

 in Consp. Gen. Disc, p. 10 ; Sacc, Syll., vui. p. G-tl. 



Ombropliila, Phil , Brit. Disc, in part. 



Distinguished from Omhrophila, its nearest ally, by the 

 septate spores. 



Coryne umalis. Sacc, Fung. Yen., ser. iv., n. 69; 

 Sacc. Syll., viii. n. 2648. 



Clustered, sessile or contracted into a short stem-like base, 

 when moist subgelatinous, but firm, margin at first incurved, 

 then expanded and wavy, the disc becoming plane, often 

 wrinkled from the base on the outside, 1—1^ cm. across; 

 entirely flesh-ied, sometimes with a tinge of purple ; hj-po- 

 thecium composed of colourless, densely interwoven hyphae, 

 which pass abruptly into a broad, coloured, cortical zone of 

 parenchyma, cells polygonal, 8-10 /i diameter ; asci narrowly 

 cylindrical with a long, narrow pedicel, tip somewhat 

 truncate, 8-spored; spores obliquely 2-seriate above, nar- 

 rowly elliptic fusoid, hyaline, contents granular, for a long 

 time continuous, then 3-5 septate, 25-30 x 6-7 ^; para-

Specimens examined in Cooke's Fung. Brit., ed. ii. n. 635, 

 and in Jobs. Kunze, Fung. Sel., Exs., n. 193. 



Superficially resembling C. sarcoides, but distinguished by 

 the larger spores.
