XriE NORTH AMERICAN IIYPOCREACEAi:. 
31. llYPocREA SOLENOSTOMA, B. & Rav. Grev. IV, p. 14. On de¬ 
caying Pachyma cocos, Scliw. C'arolina. 
“ Subglobose, pale rufous, rather irregular; ostiola cylindrical, elon¬ 
gated ; sporidia globose, 4 /->■ in diam.” 
32. llY^POCREA EATi-zoNATA, Pk. Farasitic on Gyathusstriatus, Hoff. 
Subiculum dirty white, forming a broad (I—f cm.) band around the 
outside of the cups of the Gyathus, thickly punctated with the dark- 
brown, slightly prominent ostiola. Asci cylindrical, 75—80 x 34—4 y, 
containing eight didymous sporidia, the cells separable, subglobose, 
hyaline and 3—34 y in diam. A very curious species sent from Ohio, 
under the above name, by Prof. A. P. Morgan. 
33. IIypocrea viRTDTRUFA, B. & Rav. Grev. IV, p. 14. On dead 
alders. South Carolina. Ravenel. 
“Subglobose, conjested, or confluent, greenish-rufous; ostiola im¬ 
pressed ; sporidia oblong, with two nuclei.’’ 
In Grevillea XI, p. 129, this is referred to Hypoxylon, but if the 
specimen of H. rufo-viridis, B. & Rav., in Rav., Car. fasc. V., Xo. 53, is 
the same as H. viridi-rufa, B. & Rav., in Grev., 1. c., the stroma is not 
carbonaceous (as it should be in Hypoxylon), but carnose. The speci¬ 
men referred to is, in our copy, without fruit,-apparently immature. 
11. Sporidia colored. 
34. Hy^pocrea gelattnosa (Tode). On rotton wood both of decid¬ 
uous and coniferous trees. 
Stromata gregarious, superficial, pulvinate, or subhemispheric, car- 
nose, soft, punctate from the slightly prominent ostiola, H—3 millim. in 
diam. at first with a thin, light-colored tomentum at the base, pale, 
becoming yellowish or at length greenish, whitish within, subrugose, 
and partially collapsing when dry ; asci cylindrical, contracted into a 
short pedicel at the base, 80—90 x 34—44 //, 8-spored ; sporidia composed of 
two unequal cells, the upper nearly splierical (4 y in diam.), the lower 
ellipsoid, or ovoid, 3 !>■, yellowish. Probably common throughout. Var. 
riridis (Tode) is reported by Prof. Peck on maple chips, New York state. 
35. Hypgckea gulorospora, B. & C. Grev. IV, p. 14. On decay¬ 
ing bark. Xewfleld. X. J.. also reported from Xew York. 
Stromata small, greenish, nearly round, sessile, convex (1—14 y). 
roughened by the rather prominent ostiola. Asci narrow cylindrical, 
about 75 X 4 /^ with eight two-celled sporidia, each cell subcubical 
or nearly globose, of an olivaceous colcir and 3—34 y in diam. 
30. llY'PociiEA ciiROMOSPEP.MA, 0. & P. 29th Rep. X. Y. State 
Mus., p. 57. On decaying wood. Buffalo and Greenbush, X. Y. 
“Fleshy, soft, convex, orbicular, 1—2 lines broad, flattened and 
patellate when dry, whitish or watery tan-color ; ostiola slightly prom¬ 
inent; asci cylindrical; spores <iuadrate-globose, brownisli when ma¬ 
ture, 4—5 y."
