BRITISH DISCOMYCETES. 
45 
pale brown ; hymeniiim umber-brown ; asci cylindrical, narrowed 
near the base; sporidia 8, elliptic, asperate, hyaline (18-20x9 /4, 
Cooke), 13-15x7 /4; paraphyses filiform, a little enlarged at the 
summits. 
Peziza umbrina , Boud. (not Persoon), in Cooke’s Myco., fig. 
378. 
On charred wood. Sept. 
Cups 2 to 3 inches broad. The exterior in the specimens from 
Scotland were granulose rather than pruinose, and the sporidia 
were somewhat smaller than Dr. Cooke’s measurements, but I 
hare no doubt it is Boudier’s species. 
Aviemore, N.B. Rev. Dr. Keith. Sept., 1888. 
Hymenoscypha uliginosa, Fries. 
Scattered or gregarious, stipitate or subsessile, watery, waxy, 
firm ; cup somewhat concave, or slightly convex, pallid white, or 
from yellow to ochrey, when dry dark testaceous, or sub-ferruginous, 
frequently flexuous and umbilicate; stem becoming livid-pallid, or 
pallid, hollow; asci cylindraceo-clavate ; sporidia 8, oblong-elliptic, 
often provided with two minute apical guttula, 7-14x3-4 /4; para- 
physes filiform, stout, slightly enlarged above. 
Peziza uliginosa , Fr. Sys. Myc., ii., p. 138 ; Karst. Pez. & 
Ascob., p. 35, and Monogr. Pez., p. 149 ; Nyl. Obs., p. 48 ; 
Helotium uliginosum, Karst. Myco. Fenn., p. 121. 
Exs. Karst. Fung. Fenn., 639. 
On branches of willow ( Betulas ) in damp places. Nov. 
The cups 1 to 2 lines broad, stem half a line to 4 lines high. 
Mr. Grove’s specimens were not so large as Karsten’s, from whom 
the above description is mainly copied. Asci 65-90 X 6-8 /4. 
Olton. Mr. W. B. Grove. 
fflollisia (Pseudopeziza) Alismatis, Phil Sc Trail , Q-revillea, xvi. p. 
93 . 
It is probable that this is the same plant as Peziza Alismatis , 
Pers. Myco. Ear., p. 301 = Patellaria Alismatis , Fr. Sys. Mvc., 
ii., p. 161 ; but of this I am uncertain. In any case it is more 
properly placed in the sub-genus Pseudopeziza of Mollisia. 
Lachnea umbrata, Fr. var. pallida, Rehm. 
This differs in colour from the type, being pale tan colour. 
Humaria umbrata (Fr.), var. pallida, Rehm. Asco., No. 456 ; 
Conf. Cooke in Grevillea, vii., p. 57. 
On the earth in damp places. May. 
Terrington, St. Clement’s, Norfolk. Mr. G. Herbert Ward. 
Dermatea Pseudoplatani, n. s. 
Csespitose, erumpent, sessile or substipitate ; liymenium at first 
convex, then a little depressed, hoary-white, becoming at times 
pale yellowish brown ; asci broadly clavate ; sporidia 8, biseriate,
