NOTES ON THE DISCOMYCETES. 
ramosissimae, septatae, ramulis apice attenuatis. In silvis ad terram 
vel ad ramos putridos, vere. Probably this Peziza is identical with 
Peziza fuscocana, Alb. et Schw. ; still the description of this 
species does not altogether agree in several points.* 
In conclusion, mention may be made of yet some discoveries of 
Discomycetes in this region. A large heap of town rubbish that 
had been undisturbed for years furnished me with Peziza vesiculosa , 
and, more rarely, carnea: Peziza rubra (“ Mycogr,,” i, Fig. 152.) 
P. ascoboloides, Mont. (Cooke, Fig. 292). On our “Molassa- 
sand ” is often found Peziza sepiati'a , Cooke, acknowledged by 
Phillips himself as this species ; further, I have found in former 
autumns, in a young pine wood, P. umbilicata, Karst, sufficiently 
agreeing with “ Karstens Fung. Fennici,” 729, and “ Cooke 
Mycogr.,” fig. 259. Lastly, I one day obtained from the Canton 
Thurgau Peziza Duriceana Tulasne (“ Sel. Fung.,” Carp, iii, Tab. 
xxii, Fig. 20-24), on a sclerotium parasitic here on Carex stricta. 
NEW BRITISH LICHENS. 
Communicated by the Rev. J. M. Crombie, F.L.S. 
Since my last record in “ Grevillea,” Yol. 8, pp. 112-114, the 
following new species of Lichens discovered in Great Britain have 
been recorded by Nylander in the “ Flora.” 
1. Lichiniza Kenmoriensis, (Poll,) Nyl. in Flora, 1881, p. 6. 
Thallus consisting of minute, deformed, adnate, chestnut-brown 
squamules, on which darker globuli or subglobose papillae are pro- 
minent. The texture is almost as in Lichina, but cellulose, more 
confused and thinner, the gominia being sordidly yellowish, 
arranged in the thalline globules radiately through continuous 
moniliform series. Apothecia and spermogones not seen. Pro- 
bably a genus allied to Lichina. 
On micaceo-schistose boulders at Kenmore by the shores of 
Loch Tay (Dr. Holl, 1869). 
2. Lecanora albo-lutescens, Nyl. in Flora, 1881, p. 177. 
Thallus white, thin, subfarinaceous, somewhat scattered ; 
apothecia orange, slightly prominent, subbiatorine in appearance, 
thickly margined, the margin externally (thalline) whitish, and 
above orange ; spores placodieine, (>015-18 mm. long, 0*007-10 
mm. thick (the loculi large), epithecium unequal. 
Allied to L. pyracea , but larger and with larger spores, pro- 
bably descending from L. Turneriana. 
On quartzose rocks at Stoeksfield, Northumberland (Rev. W. 
Johnson). 
* Schulzer’s fungus is not a true Peziza , but a species of Urnula, not 
distinct from Urnula craterium. I very much doubt its identity with P. 
fusco-cana , A. & S. — Ed. Grev.
