260 BRITISH DISCOMYCETES. 
P. sulphureo-cesia—Schum., “Saell.,” p. 432. Helotiwm 
albo-lutewnm—Karst., “Myco. Fenn.,” p, 160. Lachnea 
variecolor—Gill., “Champ.,” p. 83, ¢. 1. 
On rotten wood. 
Cups 250 to 300u broad. 
Gregarious, thickset, not adnate, waxy, rather firm, 
scarcely 1 line broad, regular ; margin entire, denticulated, 
closed when dry, granuliform, persistent, so slightly 
tinged with yellow that it can scarcely be called straw- 
coloured. (Fries). 
Inserted on the authority of Sowerby’s P. hydnoides, 
quoted by Fries as this species. Having examined the 
original specimen of Sowerby, I was unable to detect any 
asci or sporidia. The dimensions of the sporidia are 
from Karsten.
