and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
£447. Stemonitis. From s'vt/^uv, a stamen, in allusion to the form of some of the species, which may be 
compared to the male organ of a flower, taking the stipes for the filament, and the head for the anthera. 
2448. Cribraria. A genus formed by Schrader out of the Spha?rocarpi of Bulliard. It has for its essential 
character, a peridium, the upper part of which has numerous apertures, whence the name, from cribro, to 
perforate. All the species are found in autumn upon rotten wood. 
2449. liictydium. From ItKruov, a net, and s/So?, similar ; the peridium appears like net-work fastened 
together by minute delicate ribs. Very minute pinheaded plants, with the appearance of Calicium. 
2450. Arscyria. From ct^-Kvg, a net. The sporules are fastened together by a net-work of fibres. Beautiful 
little minute fungi, found upon wood. 
2451. Lean0um. From \uo;, smooth, and ayyto;, a vessel, in reference to the smoothness of the peridium. 
Small wart-like plants, resembling a minute Lycoperdon. 
2452. Trichia. From t^'x"?, hair, in allusion to the internal mass of elastic fibres gradually expanding 
after the head bursts. These are pin-headed plants, growing upon old wood, and very rarely seen in this 
country. 
2453. Diderma. From 5/?, double, and ^i^f/,tx,, a skin, on account of the double peridium. 
2454. Physarum. So named, on account of the bladdery appearance of the peridium, from (jiy<r!j, a vesicle.
