Mollisia chlorosticta, E. P. Fries. 
Scattered or gregarious, minute, cupulate, sessile, glabrous, 
greenish-yellow, margin prominent, entire, here and there flexuous, 
of the same colour; asci clavate (30-45 x 6-8 p), sporidia 8, 
oblong, 2-3 x 1 p ; paraphyses slenderly filiform. 
On the inside of fallen bark of Ulmus montana. Upsala, 1853, 
E. P. Fries (No. 7786). Also inside the bark of Acer. Upsala, 
L. Romell, 1885 (No. 14). 
Lachnella luzulina, Phil. 
Occurs in Saccardo’s Syllogse, p. 149, as Dasyscypha hyalina 
(Phili.), Sacc. Evidently an error of transcription. 
Lachnella albopileata, dice. 
var. subaurata, Filis. 
On both sides of the leaves of Glethra alnifolia , J. B. Ellis, 
Newfield, N.J., U.S. 
The sporidia in the type are 6-8 x 1-5 p; those of the variety 
5-6 x 1 p ; and the acerose paraphyses have generally two distinct 
septa in them, a character rarely occurring. There is another 
characteristic of this plant; in the place of the hairs secreting 
at their tips oxalate of lime, as in Lachnella crucifera , L. echinu- 
lata , and others, a golden yellow juice is secreted, which on drying 
leave a yellow shining globule at the tips of the ha.rs. These 
features may well justify its elevation to specific rank. 
Lachnella conformis, CTce. 
Scattered, minute, shortly stipitate or sessile, rather cupulate, 
becoming plane, clothed with short, colourless, obtuse hairs, 
hymenium pale fawn-colour ; asci cylindraceo-clavate, sporidia 8, 
slenderly lanceolate, 10x1 p } paraphyses slender, acerose, exceed- 
ing the asci. 
On Juncus. Darenth. July, 1875. 
Although resembling L. apala , the much shorter sporidia at 
once distinguish it. 
Enccelia hypochlora, Perk, fy Curt. 
Scattered, sessile, capulate, firm, sub-coriaceous, greenish-yellow, 
furfuraceous ; hymenium dull ochraceous, asci narrowly clavate ; 
sporidia 8, fusiform or oblongo-fusiform, straight or bent, 
10-12 x 2-25 p ; paraphyses slenderly filiform. 
On dead bark. Cuba. 
Cups ^ to 1 line broad ; asci 60-65 X 5-6 p. This has lain in 
Berkeley's Herbarium undescribed for years. Why the illustrious 
M. Saccardo has ignored the genus Enccelia , Fr., it is not easy to 
discover; his doing so has led him to throw into Cenangium many 
heterogeneous species.
