Peziza morgani Massee then is identical with No. 1269 of 
Ellis N. A. Fungi and both conform to the origin^al 
description of Peziza jmbida Berkeley and Curtis as given 
in Grevillea, III, pp. 153-4. From the descriptions and 
material examined there seems to be no doubt that Peziza 
morgani Massee is Peziza inthida Berkeley and Curtis. 
Peziza {Sarcoscyphce) pubida B. 8c C. — Grevillea, III, pp. 153-4. — Cupulis 
congestis hemisphericis, margine inflexo extus stipiteque brevi velutinis; 
paraphysibus brunneis; sporidiis fusiformibus granulatis. 
On the ground. Alabama, Peters. No. 6075. Cups three-fourths inch 
across, crowded, hemispherical, with an indexed margin, velvety externally 
as well as the short stem; paraphyses brown; sporidia spindle-shaped, gran- 
ulated, .001-. 0015 long. Mycelium densely betulose. Closely related to the 
last {P. semitosta). 
This species is not uncommon on naked soil in woods. 
The plants are easily distinguished from the characters 
given by Berkeley in his description quoted above. 
The cups are hemispherical and with a short stem-like 
base, the stem and outside of the cup being clothed with 
short, brown hairs, giving it a velvety appearance. The 
hymenium is dark colored, when dry almost black. One of 
the most prominent characters of the species is the large, 
fusiform spores which at maturity are delicately warted.
