'tlie capitulum, but hitherto I have not detected any apiculus to 
the spores, although 1 have seen them clustered around the capi-

tion, hence I have applied the name of (Edocephalum aurantiacum, 
with the subjoined diagnosis.” 
(Edocephalum auirantiacum. Cooke , — C^espitulis orbicularibus, 
aurantiacis ; floccis brevissimis, fasciculatis, septatis, hyalinis, 
supra globosis, papillatis ; sporis ex capitulis exeuntibus ; sporis 
globosis, aurantiacis, leevibus.
