By W. Phillips, F.L.S. 
Humaria stromella, CJce. Sf Phil., n.s. Helotium strumellum, Clce. Sf 
Phil, in Herb. Kevo. 
Gregarious, sessile or subsessile, plane, seated on a pale yellow 
membranaceous stroma ; hymenium immarginate, sulphureous ; 
exterior minutely granular, and darker in colour; asci cylindrical; 
sporidia 8, fusoideo- elliptic, 15-19 x 8-9 paraphyses abundant, 
slenderly filiform, curved, and sometimes branched at the summit. 
On dead moss, leaves, sticks, etc. Winton, New Zealand (124). 
The cups are \ to 1 line broad ; asci, 180 X 10 p. The thin 
stroma from which the cups arise led us at first to refer it to 
Humaria carbonigena , Berk. 
Hymenoscypha Carmichaelii ( Berk .), Phil. 
Scattered or csespitose, stipitate, cup becoming plane, margin 
raised, entire ; hymenium fuliginous ; stem rather long, slender, 
brownish, tomentose at the very base ; asci clavate ; sporidia 8, 
fusiform or clavato-fusiform, guttate, 25 x 5 p, paraphyses 
slenderly filiform, numerous. 
On decayed wood. Scotland (?). Capt. Carmichael. 
Cups \ a line broad ; ratber more than a line high. Asci 
90 x 9 p. How far the colour may have altered by the means 
employed to preserve the specimen it is difficult to judge; the 
dark hymenium and the brown stem give it a marked appearance. 
It is near Hymenoscypha scutula (Pers.). 
Hymenoscypha flexipes, Cke. Sf Phil. 
Scattered or caespitose, stipitate, cups at first pyriform, then 
infundibuliform, margin entire, indexed, exterior granulose, pale 
alutaceous, hymenium darker ; stem long, flexuous ; asci narrowly 
clavate ; sporidia 8, fusiform, 4-6 x 1 p, paraphyses slenderly 
filiform. 
On decorticated wood. Kew Herbarium. 
Cups £ to f of a line broad ; ^ to 1 line high. Asci, 35 x 3. 
Helotium aurantiacum, Cke. 
Sessile or subsessile, plane, hymenium orange yellow, margin 
thin, erect ; asci cylindraceo-clavate ; sporidia 6 to 8, fusiform, 
straight or bent, 2-5-guttulate, becoming pseudo-septate, 14-18 x 
4-5 /x, paraphyses filiform, simple, abundant. 
On the underside of decayed leaves. U.S. America. J. B.
