37. IlYPOCREA CUBISPORA, E|l. & IIol. Joiir. MycoL, I, p. 4. On 
a decaying log. Iowa. 
Stroma tnberculiform-obconic, subplicate below, about 1 cm. broad 
by f cm. high, lemon yellow within and without, surface minutely punc¬ 
tate with the black ostiola; perithecia peripheric, globose, about 250 'J- in 
diam., contents black; asci cylindrical, containing eight cubical or ob¬ 
long-truncate, dark olive or brownish-black, 2-nucleate, 4—7 x 3—4 P- 
sporidia, some of which are obscurely uniseptate. 
B. Stroma effused. 
I. Sporidia hyaline. 
38. IlYPOCREA CITRINA (PerS.) 
Thin, effused, carnose, lemon color, punctate from the dark, ratlier 
prominent ostiola, forming a thin crust overspreading decaying wood 
and bark, or, sometimes, decaying leaves and mosses for several inches 
in extent; asci cylindrical, 90—110 x 5—6 M, cells of the didymous spo¬ 
ridia unequal, subglobose, 4—6 p in diam. This is one of the commonest 
species. Var. fungicola, Karst. Myc. Fenn., 11, p. 204, is reported, by 
Prof. A. P. Morgan, from Ohio. 
39. Hypocrea armeniaca, B. &> C. Grev. IV, p. 15. 
“ Forming a thin, apricot-colored stratum which, when barren, looks 
like Corticium ochroleucum, at length fertile ; perithecia superficial, scat¬ 
tered, of a deeper tint.” Specimens found at Newfield, on pine wood 
and bark, agree with the description quoted, except that the perithecia 
can hardly be called superficial, and the subglobose cells of the didymous 
hyaline spores are rather less than ^in diam., whereas, according to 
Cooke, in Grev. XII, p. 78, they are 4 P in diam. 
40. IlYPOCREA OCHROLEUCA, (b. & Rav. Grev. 1. c., from the 
brief description, can not well b^ distinguished from the preceding 
species. The cells of the sporidia afe said by Cooke, in Grev., 1, c., to be 
6 p in diam. 
41. IlYPOCREA LACTEA, Fr. $umma, V. S., 383. 
“ Carnose, broadly effused, b^re, milk white, ostiola punctiforrn ; 
asci cylindrical, 56 x 3 p, subequal cells of the didymous, hyaline sporidia, 
globose, 3 P in diam.” Sacc. Syli. II, p. 529, tlie species is credited to 
North America. We have seen n<) specimens. The habitat is given as 
on rotton wood, on Polyporns medkdla-panis and on the ground. 
42. IlYPOCREA SULFUREA, Schw. Syii., N. xVm., 1221. 
“Rather thin, subcarnose, at length horn-like in texture (when 
dried), the thin, partially free margin variously lobed, sulphur-color, 
white within; perithecia crowded, globose-depressed, immersed, dirty- 
yellow; ostiola concolorous, papillate, situated in little pit-like de¬ 
pressions of the otherwise smooth surface. On bark. Rare. 8ei)arable 
wdien fresh, subrotund, U inches across.” In Grev., 1. c., the globose 
cells of the hyaline sporidia are said to lie 5 p in diam.
