270 BRITISH DISCOMYCETES. 
61. Lachnella Tami. (Desm.) 
Var. Humuli (nov. var.). 
Gregarious, sessile, hemispherical, then expanded, 
pubescent, white or very pale yellow ; asci clavate; 
sporidia 8, fusiform or nearly oblong, 8 x 2u; paraphyses 
filiform, scarce. 
On Humulus lupulus. 
Cups 200 to 400u. So near to L. Tam that it hardly 
deserves to be called a variety, except for more developed 
hairs and different host-plant. The hairs are very short, 
colourless, and non-septate. 
Darenth ! (Dr M. C. Cooke). 
62. Lachnella Berkeleit. (Blox.) 
Gregarious, sessile, cups hemispherical, furfuraceous- 
floccose, almost pruinose; hymenium concave, tawny ; 
asci clavate; sporidia 8, oblong, subfusiform or eymbi- 
form, 5—8 X 2u; paraphyses not seen. 
Peziza Berkeleti—Blox. in B. and Br., “ Ann. Nat. 
Hist.,” No. 770; Cooke, “ Handbk.,” No. 2057. 
On dead stems of Umbellifere. 
“Very minute, gregarious, often crowded, hemi- 
spherical, with the margin at first strongly inflected, 
clothed with furfuraceous-yellowish flocci. In the 
younger specimens the orifice is distinctly marked with 
radiating lines. Hymenium concave, tawny; asci 
clavate ; sporidia ‘0003 to 0004 inch long, oblong, sub- 
fusiform or cymbiform.” 
“Under the lens the coat consists of very short flocci, 
intermixed with minute hyaline amorphous scales. We 
cannot point out any very near ally, except possibly P. 
humulis, Desm. It resembles P. apala more closely 
than any other species with which we are acquainted ”
