On dead pine leaves. 
Cups } of a line broad. 
A minute and delicate species, nearly allied to L. 
pulverulenta (Lib.), of which some may consider it only 
a variety. The whole plant when fresh is a clear citrine- 
yellow, of which colour the granules on the delicate, 
non-septate hairs, and the globose masses at the tips of 
the hairs, partake. The asci are about 25u long, and 
about 4 broad. 
Name—lItalian solfo, sulphur, terra, earth ; from the 
-colour.

Peziza nuda—Phil, “Seott. Nat.,” vi. 124. 
On the ground amongst moss, in a fir wood. 
Cups 1 line broad, and 2 lines high. 
A large and Helotiwm-like species, having acerose 
paraphyses, which have never been observed before in a 
perfectly glabrous species, the presence of which fully 
justifies placing here. The asci are 500u long, and 4u 
broad; the paraphyses are 70u long. 
Name—Nudus, naked; nearly devoid of hairs.
