116 BRITISH DISCOMYCETES. 
On Selerotiwm sulcatwm (Rob. and Maz.), in the culms 
of Carex arenaria. 
Cup 1 to 4 lines broad, stem variable in length. 
Name—After M. Durieu de Maisonneuve. 
The British specimens were grown from sclerotia 
under artificial culture by Mr. C. B. Plowright, of King’s 
Lynn, to whom I am indebted for specimens. No doubt 
specimens will be found in a natural condition where 
Carea arenaria abounds, on carefully searching. 
C. SPORIDIA OBLONGO-FUSIFORM, 
5. Hymenoscypha filypes. Phil. 
Cup thin, fragile, concave, becoming plane, at length 
convex, glabrous, white; stem long, filiform, flexuous, 
same colour, arising from a black, subglobose sclerotium ; 
asci 8, oblong-fusiform, 8 x lu; paraphyses slenderly 
filiform. 
Growing from a wrinkled, black, nearly globose 
sclerotium amongst vegetable fragments in a damp 
situation. 
Cup about 13 lines broad; stem 74 lines long. This 
is much smaller than P. Candolleana, and the sporidia 
are altogether different. Phialea capillipes (Quelet) is 
grey-bistre colour, and grows from afusiform sclerotium, 
otherwise there is a very near resemblance. 
Name—Filum, a thread, pes, a foot; from the slender 
stem. 
Shelton Rough, near Shrewsbury ! 
D. SPORIDIA CYLINDRICAL, SLENDER. 
6. Hymenoscypha Curreyana. (Berk.) 
Cup thin, subhemispherical, then infundibuliform, or 
plane, bright brown, glabrous; hymenium wrinkled, 
margin entire; stem slender, flexuous, nearly equal, 
smooth, or tomentose at the base, arising from a black 
sclerotium; asci cylindrical; sporidia 8, cylindrical,
