Plants stipitate, cup-shaped, with the margin slightly incurved, 
1-1.5 cm. in diameter and about i cm. deep; stem often so short 
that the plants appear to be sessile or 2-3 cm. long and about 2 
mm. thick, exterior of the cup as well as the stem entirely clothed 
with long hairs which are more numerous around the margin 
forming an incurved border, entire plant deep-red or nearly scar- 
let and a little paler outside, fading in dried plants to pale-orange ; 
hairs often 2-3 mm. long and ioo-175/x in diameter at the base, 
gradually tapering toward the apex, whitish or pale-brown and 
composed of a dense fascicle of mycelial threads ; asci cylindric, 
about 350-375 X 20 fjL, abruptly extended below into a short ap- 
pendage-like base; spores ellipsoid to fusoid, about 27-33 X 12- 
14 /A, hyaline or subhyaline with one or two large oil-drops and 
granular within, usually marked with delicate, longitudinal stria-

Massee^ states, — “The two species enumerated above \Peziza 
sulci pcs and Pcziza Hiudsii] are synonyms of each other, and in 
turn both are synonymous with Pcziza tricholoma IMont.” There 
seems to be no doubt as to the identity of Pcziza snlcipes and 
Pcziza Hindsii but from our own studies based on material col-
