Physalacria Langloisii, E. & E.—On rotten wood. Louisiana, 
June 20. 1888. Langlois, 350. Minute,white or yellowish white,stip- 
itate,stem of fibrous structure, somewhat pubescent, 300—400x50— 
70,* head subglobose or a little elongated or even depressed, quite 
solid at first, becoming hollow and sometimes cup-shaped from the 
falling away of the upper part, \—\ mm diam. Surface when mag¬ 
nified appears finely pubescent from the projecting basidia which 
forms a compact la} r er covering the outer surface of the head, and 
are of an oblong-cylindrical shape, about 12 x 2J—3, bearing at 
their tips the oblong-elliptical, hyaline spores 4—5 x 2J. With 
the basidia are urn-shaped cystidia 30—35 x 15, contracted ab¬ 
ruptly above into a short, obtuse rough neck, projecting above the 
basidia. This must be distinguished from the Schweinitzian spe¬ 
cies by its much smaller size, and its urn-shaped cystidia. 
Cyphella trachychvETa, E. & E.—On fallen oak leaves, Loui¬ 
siana, July, 1888. Langlois, 1424. Gregarious, white, cup-shaped, 
sessile by a narrow base, 300—400 high and broad, clothed out¬ 
side with very rough appressed, subhyaline hairs with a smooth ta¬ 
pering tip 12—15 long. The hairs are paler around the base of 
the receptacle and are coarsely roughened by irregularly shaped 
tubercles, some of which are prolonged into short spines. The ba¬ 
sidia and spores could not be well made out, but the latter are ap¬ 
parently very minute. Some of the plants were enlarged to full 1 
mm. across with the margin distinctly lobed. The hymenium is 
nearly white with a slight tinge of slate-color. 
^Measurements in centimeters and millimeters will be indicated as usual by the abbre¬ 
viations cm. and mm. but micromillimeters, i. e. thousandths of a millimeter, will be writ¬ 
ten for the present without any denominational sign, or indicated by the abbreviation micr.
