NEW BRITISH FUNGI. 
Patellaria pallida. Berli. 
Gregarious, sessile, pallid, margin rather obtuse ; sporidia bise- 
riate, oblong, slightly curved. — B. cj* Br. Ann. N. H., No. 1831. 
On smooth bark. 
Sporidia *0005 in. ('0125 mm.) long. 
Phacidiuzn leptidium. Fr. S. M. ii., 576. 
Somewhat innate, depressed, plane, black, splitting into several 
acute lacinias, disc straw-coloured ; sporidia filiform, curved, hya- 
line (*086 X '003-0*04 mm. — B. fy Br. Ann. N. H ., No. 1830. 
On Vaccinium myrtillus. Scotland. 
Rhytisma radicalis. Che. 
Black, opaque, ambient, splitting irregularly, and exposing the 
grey hymenium ; asci cylindrical ; sporidia uniseriate, clavate, 
hyaline (*012 x '003 mm.) ; stylospores produced earlier in the 
season, fusiform, acute, triseptate (-07 X '005 mm.). 
About the roots of Bhinanthus crista galli. North of Scotland 
(Mr. Taylor). 
Gouty black swellings are formed both by the stylosporous and 
ascosporous conditions. The sporidia apparently not fully mature. 
Hypocrea riccioidea. Berk,., in Cke. Hdbk., No. 2329. 
Hypocrea parmelioides, Mont. Syll. — B. Br. Ann. N. H., No. 
1831*. 
This curious species, which is Sphceria riccioidea , Bolt , has lately 
been found on willow twigs by the Rev. J. Stevenson, at Glamis. 
Hypomyces chrysospermus. Tul. Sel. Carp., iii., 49. 
Perithecia numerous, in a dense compact stratum, ovoid, at first 
hyaline then dingy yellow ; asci cylindrical ; sporidia elongated, 
unequally pseudo-septate, hyaline (*021--025x '006 mm.) ; conidia 
as in Sepedonium chrysospermum. — B. Br. Ann. N. H., No. 1 832. 
On Boleti. Coed Coch. 
Nectria aurea. Grev. S. Cr. Fl.,t. 47. 
Aurea. Peritheciis sparsis vel gregariis, ovatis, ceraceis, circa 
ostiolis obscurior ; asci cylindraceis ; sporidiis uniseriatis, ellipticis, 
hyalinis, uniseptatis, nec constrictis, utrinque rotundatis (’017 X 
•0075 mm.) “ Cooke Hdbk.,” p. 785. 
On semi-putrid fungi. 
The above measurements determined from the original specimens. 
Nectria affinis. Grev. S Cr. FI., t., 186. 
Aurantia. Peritheciis sparsis, globosis, glaberrimis, ad basim 
albo-floccosis ; asci cylindraceis ; sporidiis arcte ellipticis. 
O n Ephebe pubescens. Appin (Carmichael). 
This has been omitted so long on account of our not having 
examined authentic specimens. Those from Greville and also 
from Roussel, do not accord with the description given by Saccardo, 
under Paranectria affinis (“ Michelia,” i., p. 317), which must be 
a different species. The perithecia are as large as in N. sanguinea , 
the sporidia although immature, would probably not exceed *012 
mm. in length, and seem to be uniseptate, but of this we could 
not be certain.
