Massee. — A monograph of 
Herb. Berk. Kew, n. 4472). Ceylon, south side of the island 
(Gardner, n. 673). 
Superficially resembling C. lutescens , to which species it was 
referred by Berkeley and Broome in their enumeration of the 
fungi of Ceylon in Linn. Soc. Journ. vol. xiv. p. 78, but 
readily distinguished by the globose spores. It differs from 
C. Junghuhni in the smaller and less coarsely war.ted spores 
and in the structure and colour of the exoperidium. 
Calostoma orirubra , Cooke. Plate III, Fig. 31. 
Fasciculate. Exoperidium dark brown, soon broken up 
into large persistent pointed warts. Endoperidium broadly 
ovate or elliptical, ostiolum vermilion, teeth 4-5, erect and 
forming a cone before expansion. Spore-sac pale ochre, 
spores spherical, coarsely tuberculate, very pale ochre, 14-17 /x 
diameter. Stems confluent, forming a subglobose lacunose 
brown mass. 
Mitremyces orirubra , Cke. in Hb. Kew. (Type in Hb. Kew.) 
In a cluster on the ground. Larut, Perak, Malay Archipelago. 
(Dr. King.) 
Endoperidium 1-1*5 cm * high, studded with prominent 
brown-pointed warts. Growing in clusters of three or four 
together, the confluent stems forming a knob 2-3 cm. across. 
A very distinct species, most nearly allied to C. Junghuhni. 
Calostoma viridis (Berk.), Mass. Plate III, Fig. 29. 
Exoperidium in the form of dingy green irregular scales 
adhering to the subglobose pale green endoperidium, ostiolum 
vermilion, teeth 5-7, sub-acute, erect and forming a cone before 
expansion ; spore-sac pale, spores globose, closely tuberculose ; 
very pale ochre, 12-15 /x diameter. Stem-like base, stout, 
greenish, irregularly lacunose.
