40. Mollisia cinerea Karsten, Myc. Fenn. 1871. 
Peziza cinerea Batsch, El. Fung. cont. 1789. 
41. Mollisia fusca Massee, Fung. FI. 1895. 
Trichopeziza fusca Saccardo, Sylloge. VIII. 1889. 
Peziza fusca Schumacher, En. Plant. 1803. 
42. Belonidium album Saccardo, Sylloge, VIII. 1889. 
Lecanidion album Crouan, FI. Finist. 1867. 
This is truly a Peziza; there is little to the ascoma besides 
the asci and paraphyses. It grows on old hyphae of Helmintho- 
sporium. 
43. Stamnaria Americana Massee & Morgan n. sp. — 
Erumpent, gregarious or crowded in clusters of three or four, 
sessile or with a very short stem-like base, about \ mm. across 
and high, thin, translucent, margin scarious, uneven, entirely pale 
amber when dry, concave; asci clavate, apex rounded, not blue 
with iodine, 8-spored, 170x15-16 mic.; spores irregularly 2- 
seriate, hyaline, smooth, continuous narrowly elliptic-fusiform, 
often slightly inaequilateral, 2-guttulate, 26-29 x 7-8 mic.; para¬ 
physes slender, tips slightly clavate, often branched; excipulum 
and cortex formed of very slender septate hyphae running from 
base to margin. 
On dead stems of Equisetum hyemale Preston, O. Entire 
fungus delicate, thin, soon collapsing. Readily distinguished 
from S. equiseti in the much larger asci and spores. 
44. Helotium citrinum Fries, S. V. Scand. 1849. 
Octospora citrina Hedwig, Muse, frond. 1787. 
Helotium confluens Schweinitz, N. A. Fungi, does not seem 
to be different from this species. 
45. Helotium virgultorum Fries, S. V. Scand. 1849. 
Phialea virgultorum Saccardo, Sylloge. VIII. 1889. 
Peziza virgultorum Vahl, Flora Dan. Tab. 1016. 
Octospora fungoidaster Hedwig, Muse, frond. 1787. 
Peziza flaviscens, petiolata, etc. Haller, Hist. St. 1768. By 
Persoon and Fries this species was included as a variety 
in P. fructigena. 
46. Helotium scutula Karsten, Myc. Fenn. 1871. 
Phialea scutula Saccardo, Sylloge, VIII. 1889. 
Peziza scutula Persoon, Myc. Eur. 1822. 
As defined by later writers there seems little difference be¬ 
tween this species and P. virgultorum except that it grows on 
herbaceous stems. 
47. Helotium fructigenum Fuckel, Symb. Myc. 1869. 
Peziza fructigena Bulliard, Champ. 1792. 
Massee includes this species as a variety in H. virgultorum.
