Peziza Phillipsi—Cooke in “Mycogr.,” fig. 88. 
Ascobolus amethystimus—Phil. (in part), “ Grevillea,” iv. 
p. 84 
On damp sandy ground. October. 
Cup 2 to 4 lines broad. Found mixed with Asco- 
bolus amethystinus (Phil.). It differs from that species 
in the deeper vinous disc; in the intense amethystine 
colour of the gelatina-hymenia; the cylindrical and 
longer indehiscent asci ; larger and more fusiform sporidia, 
which are more coarsely warted, and never coloured; in 
the shorter paraphyses, and other points, so that there 
is not the slightest ground for the supposition that one 
is any form or condition of the other, except in their 
growing together (Cooke, Ll. c.). 
Name—After W. Phillips.
