PEZIZA. 105 
On decaying vegetable matter. 
Cup 4 a line across. Much crowded; dise barely 
depressed, so that the cups can hardly be called cups 
except in outline, being fleshy to the top. They have no 
erect, thin, membranaceous, paler margin, as the type 
has, nor are the apices of the paraphyses clavate. The 
cells of the exterior of the cup are moderate-sized— 
20 to 30u diam. 
Name—Carnosus, fleshy ; extremely fleshy. 
Glamis, N.B.! (Rev. J. Stevenson). 
SuBGENUS X.—PyRonEMA. Fckl. 
Cups often densely gregarious, sessile, fleshy, seated 
upon or surrounded by a delicate, radiating, web-like, 
white mycelium; hymenium at length plane, subconvex 
or umbilicate, scarcely marginate, losing colour; sporidia 
8, elliptic, smooth. (Plate IV. fig. 22.) 
Growing on ashes, burnt ground, plaster walls, and 
damp paper. 
Some of the species (subhirsuta, and domestica) are, 
when young, clothed with delicate fugaceous hairs, 
forming a connecting link between Peziza (as here 
limited) and Sarcoscypha. 
Name—zip, fire; véuw, I inhabit; found in burnt 
places.
