and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
villous or rugose, and ribbed in a pecuhar manner ; in the conoid papillae of the disk ; in the tubes, which 
must be esteemed rudimentary asci, containing the sporules ; and in the elastic manner in which the 
sporidia are produced. The species are simple, rarely growing in patches, of a large or middle size, and gene- 
rally mhabiting wood ; when dry they are membranous, but nearly regain their original form upon being 
moistened, 
2399. Dacrymyces. From dtx,x,i^v, a tear, and ij.vx'/i, a fungus ; in allusion to their deliquescent nature. 
Tremella deliquescens of Bulliard, a yellow confluent mass found chiefly upon pine-timber in the spring, is 
the type of the genus. 
24'00. Agyrium. Apparently from otyvpn, a crowd, in allusion to the clustered disposition of the individuals ; 
although Fries, the author of the name, expressly declares that it has been named " ob superficiem nunquam 
non laevem." Small dot-like gregarious plants growing upon wood, perennial, seated upon a crust-like spot, and 
resembling some species of Lecidea. 
2401. Hymenella. This genus consists of plants growing upon plants, generally upon the stem, having the 
habit of Sclerotium durum, but softer, more tender, and bearing sporidia within their surface, for which 
reason they seem as if they consisted only of a kind of elementary hymenimn, whence their name. 
2402. Ncematelia. From vccifxa,, gelatine, and itXiu, to enwrap, on account of the nucleus, which is of various 
figures, enclosed in the receptacle. 
2403. Acrosperrnum. Minute fungi of a rigid habit, parasites upon decaying vegetables. From ay^^og, the 
summit, and a-TnciMri, seed, on account of the apex of the plants becoming tumid, and emitting the sporules. 
2404. Sclerotiutn. From a-y^X'/i^o;, hard, in allusion to the remarkably firm substance of the species. All the 
species are parasites upon other plants, and some are very destructive.
