Sturgis: Myxomycetes of Curtis Herbarium 211 
blunt ridges — characters which appear to confirm Miss Lister’s 
opinion. 
“Arcyria pallida B. & C. ad lign: putridum. Aug. 1848. 
Society Hill, S. C.” 
This is undoubtedly A. cinerea (Bull.) Pers., though of a yel- 
lower color than usual. 
“ Craterium floriforme Schw. Herb. Schw.” 
Berkeley (Grevillea 2: 67) writes “ C. floriforme Schwein. is 
a Trichiaf’ Miss Lister includes it under Hemitrichia V esparium, 
though doubtfully. The free, rarely branching, dark red elaters 
terminating in a long point, the solid stalk, and the orange spores 
ii/i. diam., place it distinctly under Trichia Botrytis Pers. var. 
lateritia (Lev.) List. 
“Licea artocreas B. & R. Cort: Juniperi. Martio 1850. 
Ravenel (1459).” 
This name is attached to the specimen No. 82 in Ravenel’s 
Fung. Car. Exsicc., Fasc. II, but the combination was never pub- 
lished. When Berkeley described the species, he placed it under 
the genus Perichaena, where it belongs (Grevillea 2: 68, 1873). 
It is typical P. depressa Lib. Berkeley’s description of the spores 
as “ fusiform ” is due to the fact that they are shrunken. Proper 
treatment readily restores them to their normal form. 
“ Perichaena irregularis B. & C. subter ram. dej. putrid. 
Jan. 1848. Society Hill, S. C. (2478).” 
This again is typical P. depressa Lib. 
“(6081) Licea applanata B. subter ram. Querc. alba. 1856. 
Ala. superiore. Peters (1009).” 
Two descriptions of this species were published by Berkeley, 
the second of which (Grevillea 2: 68, 1873) cites this specimen. 
It is normal Dictydiaethaliiini plumbeum (Schum.) Rost., except 
that the corner-strands measure nearly 7/4 diam. and are greatly 
thickened along the outer edge. This causes the strands to coil 
up like a spring when detached. A similar feature characterizes 
a specimen collected by Professor Roland Thaxter in Chile.
