cyathiform, thickly margined, 1-4 mm. in diameter, folded and in¬ 
volute when dry, tapering downward into a cylindrical subcurved stipe 
1-2 cm. long, 0.5-1 mm. thick, exterior glabrous, pale rubescent, di¬ 
lute alutaceous when dry, whitish pruinose waxy, context prosenchy- 
matous. Asci cyiindrical-clavate, rounded at the apex, 60x5 mic., 8— 
spored. I-f-. Spores rod-shaped to subclavate, straight, 1—celled, hya¬ 
line, 7—8x1.5 mic., distichous. Paraphyses filiform, subacute, slightly 
protruding, hyaline, 2—2.5 mic. 
The specimens sent to Rehm were growing on decayed roots, Madi¬ 
son, 1909. Rehm, 1. c., says that this species could be classed among 
either the Ciborias or the Helotiums, and is near G. tenella Karst, in 
color, but that species has spores 3 mic. broad. Helotium cupreum 
Bres. differs in color, while Helotium fusco-'brunneum Pat. & Gaill. has 
a very short stipe. Devil’s lake, June 1906, July 1909; no. 1852, Rehm

Helotium anreum Pers. 
On decayed wood, Blue Mounds, June 1903, no. 335; Morgan vid. 
Helotium cifcrinum (Hedw.) Fr. 
Judging from the large number of collections in the university her¬ 
barium this species is the one most commonly found and most easily 
identified. No. 319, Madison, September 1901, Peck vid.; Superior, 
September 1907 (Gilbert); Burlington, August 1905 (Denniston); Al¬ 
goma, July 1909 (Dodge), Rehm vid.; various other collections from 
Blue Mounds, Devil’s Lake, Madison, Milwaukee, and Parfrey’s glen. 
Helotium citrimmi var. lenticulare Bull. 
The following specimens seem to be somewhat different from the 
preceding species on account of the sessile apothecia cohering in 
chains, or forming a compound apothecium 1—2 cm. long. Such speci¬ 
mens as are mentioned by Rehm, Disc., p. 490, were collected at Fort 
Lee, N. J. These were light yellow and formed a compound apothe¬ 
cium about 1.5 cm. in diameter. Madison, October 1900; Star Lake,
