Gleba dimorphic, the apical portion traversed by numerous ster¬ 
ile, short, radiating plates; the lower portion with convoluted 
folds in the form of irregular rings giving a latticed appearance 
to this portion of the gleba. At maturity the folds of the latticed 
portion of the gleba uncoil more or less and form long, irregular, 
loose, netlike folds. Spores single-celled, smooth.— One species,. 
Denton, Texas.”

of the Torrey Botanical Club, 28:441. Aug. 1901. 
“Plants with the irregularly rupturing peridium closely at¬ 
tached to the solid stem. Volva cup-like, persistent at the base of 
the stem. Gleba composed of a mesh-like irregular tissue, in 
which the capillitium threads are imbedded.”

“Hymenophora endophyta, numquam epidermidam erum- 
pentibus. Hyphae sterilae valde crassae et vacuolosae, septatae, 
ad septam sine fusionis. Hymenium leve, interdum leviter undu- 
latum, chlorino-brunneum, dentissime granulatum. Basidia apice 
truncato-rotundata, 2-sterigmata. Sporae globosae, hyalinae pos- 
teaquam olivaceo-brunneae. Conidiae minutae, globosae, hya¬ 
linae, continuae.”

“Plants standing out from the substratum, more or less erect, 
filiform, or columnar, tough, subgelatinous when fresh. Hyme¬ 
nium covering all sides, and exposed. Basidia curved or flexuous, 
slender, transversely divided, sterigmata about four (vary 3-5, 
etc.). Spores continuous, white, hyaline, germinating without 
division and forming one or several threads. One species at 
present known.”

“Plants stipitate. Pileus campanulate to expanded, consist¬ 
ing of a layer of radiating branched threads forming a more or 
less lattice-like or trabecular, expanded, thin structure; trama 
wanting or very rudimentary, the subhymenium arising directly 
from the trabeculae of the pileus. Hymenium plane, or in larger 
forms with a few short, narrow, distant lamellae not reaching the 
stipe; lamellae with rudimentary trama. Basidia clavate, 4-spored. 
Spores smooth, i-celled, hyaline. Stipe fleshy, delicate. At ma¬ 
turity hymenium dissolving, leaving many of the spores lying on
