242 BRITISH DISCOMYCETES. 
Cups $ to 1 line broad. as 
This excessively common but very pretty British 
species can be distinguished from L. swbtiltssima (Cooke) 
chiefly by the size of the sporidia. The cups when young 
are nearly globose, the stem barely visible or quite 
absent, the mouth is only a minute pore; when old the 
cup expands, exposing the yellow disc, but the margin is 
always entire and upright—never recurved. 
Name—Calycinus, resembling a calyx. 
Var. Trevelyani. Cooke in “ Grevillea,” iii. p. 121. 
Distinguished by the larger sporidia (80—35y long), 
and by their tendency to become pseudo-uniseptate.
