often half their length above the paraphyses, collapsing after 
discharging their spores ; asci clavate-cylindric, about 200 
X 18-20^; spores at first smooth with one large oil-drop, becom- 
ing delicately roughened, at maturity with short stout spines, 
about 1 fx in diameter and 2-3 /x in length, becoming adpressed when 
dry, entire spore about 15-20 ju, in diameter (including spines), 
hyaline ; paraphyses clavate, septate and granular within. 
On soil among moss. New York Botanical Garden, 1912. 
This plant which is 1 mm. or less in diameter has often been 
collected about New York City. The spores as well as the ex- 
ternal characters of the species are very different from L. 
Crec’hqueraultii another spinulose-spored species. I find no de- 
scription of the species.

Plants gregarious, 2-5 mm. in diameter (usually 2 or 3), en- 
tirely smooth without and within, hymenium at first slightly con- 
cave becoming plane or more often convex, margin indistinct in 
mature plants and entire plant often becoming irregular in form, 
very pale orange externally and internally, fading to dirty yel- 
lowish-white in dried specimens ; asci cylindric, or subcylindric, 
about 300-325 X 27 fx protruding above the hymenium ; spores
