The paraphyses differ from any that we have yet seen in their 
peculiar branching, and in the almost universal presence of these 
lateral expansions. Cups ^-1 inch broad ; sporidia •02-‘022 x 
•012 m.m.

Sessile, fleshy, bright orange ; cups concave, externally fibrillose, 
paler ; asci cylindrical ; sporidia elliptical, obtuse, without nuclei, 
smooth ; paraphyses clavate above, orange.

This species has been found by Mr. W. Phillips near Shrews- 
bury, and also by Mr. C. B. Plowright at King’s Lynn ; cups | in.

Feziza (Humaria) domestica. Sow. P'ang. t. 351 Cooke, Handhk. 
No. 2066. 
The species figured in Mycographia (fig. 90), under the name 
of Feziza pluvialis, is clearly the above. Sowerbv’s figure is not 
good, and the impression it conveys is very different from the 
character of his specimens, which Mr. W. Phillips has since ex- 
amined in the Rev. M. J. Berkeley’s Herbarium. On the faith of 
both these mycologists we, therefore, withdraw the name of Feziza 
pluvialis in favour of F. domestica. 
Feziza (Humaria) eclecta. Berk. ^ Cooke. 
Scattered or subgregarious, yellow externally, with a few scat- 
tered septate hairs; disc concave; asci cylindrical; sporidia 
elliptical, even ; paraphyses linear, slightly clavate at the tips.
