NOTICE.
Tue following Catalogue has been arranged and printed in accordance with instructions left with me by my late brother, Thomas G. Lea. His MSS. and Herbarium were placed in the hands of Mr. W.S. Sullivant, who kindly prepared the whole, with the exception of the Fungi, determined by the Rev. M. J. Berkeley, and the Lichens by Mr. Edward ‘Tuckerman.
My brother’s son, Mr. James M. Lea, has seen to its progress through the press, under the supervision of Professor Asa Gray of Cambridge.
By the kindness of these gentlemen, his wishes have been fully carried out, and I have every confidence that this Catalogue will possess all the utility desired by him.
My brother, in his instructions, also desired to acknowledge his obligations to Sir W. J. Hooker and Mr. W. Wilson, for their assistance in authenticating the species of mosses.

PREFACE.
Few botanists have more thoroughly investigated the vegetation of their immediate vicinities than did the late [Thomas G. Lea that of Cincinnati. ‘This is apparent not so much in the large number of plants here enumerated and determined with singular accu- racy, as in the copious and valuable observations attached to the specimens in his Herbarium. ‘These observations, had life and health been spared to complete them, would have appeared in the form ef a local Flora—a work for which years of assiduous study
of the plants of South-western Ohio had well fitted him.
The following Catalogue, however, is all that he left ready for publication—with the request that Mr. J. Carey, of New York, or myself, should see it through the press. In the Phenogamous portion no changes have been made other than in the nomencla- ture rendered necessary by the advance of the science since the period of his decease.
During the last three or four years of his life, Mr. Lea was zealously devoted to the study of Fungi: and his collections in that department will be found a highly valuable contribution to
the mycology of the United States.
Mr. Lea died of an autumnal fever, on the 30th of September
1844, at Waynesville in this State, where he had been passing a
iv few weeks, making, as these pages will attest, many new and rare collections in the adjacent valley of the Little Miami river.
In accordance with his wishes, all the specimens of Fungi were submitted to his correspondent, the Rev. M. J. Berkeley of England, by whom alone they have been determined and pre- pared for this Catalogue.

my possession from the Cape of Good Hope (Herb. Menzies) and Nepaul (Herb. Hook.), which have also been referred to P. leucomela, and perhaps in- dicate an extreme state of the species, near to P. ciliaris.
* Parmewia Leana: Thallosubcartilagineo fragili substellato glabro albido, subtus pallide fuscescenti propter margines Jaciniarum parciter fibrilloso, laci- niis linearibus planiusculis laxe imbricatis subpalmato-multifidis incisis nudis ; apotheciis subsessilibus, margine crasso integro demum flexuoso rugulosove, disco e rufo-nigrescente nudo. Thallus quite thin and brittle. The features of the apothecia appear to separate this from P. speciosa, Ach., but the discovery of more perfect specimens may make necessary some modification of the other
characters.
2 First distinguished in this country by the late Mr. Oakes, and referred to under the name given it by him, in the Synopsis of Lichenes of New England, &c., p. 34.
3 There are also some small and imperfect fragments of what is possibly a new species, allied to P. rubra and P. carneo-lutea. 1 have another fragment of the same lichen collected by Mr. Curtis in North Carolina, What seem to be the peculiar features of these specimens may be indicated as follows: P. crusta cartilaginea granulata albo-glaucescente; apotheciis elevatis extus gra- nulatis, disco e concavo demum planiusculo, e pallide cerino-rufescente (demum et puniceo?) margine elevato, inflexo, granulato-crenulato.

Beech trunks; Covington. have several fragments of the same, or a nearly allied species, collected in New Mexico by Mr. Fendtler.
* A small and delicate state, commonly granulate or squamulose, and apparently distinguished by the paleness of its symphycarpzous apothecia. It seems to be most common on wood, but occurs also, elsewhere, on the earth.
2 T have no European specimens of B. carneola (from which Fries considers this scarcely to differ) except the minute state which is the Lecidea cornea of Borrer. The limits of the American lichen do not seem to be clearly ascertained.
3 The cited brief diagnosis is all Ihave seen. The lichen is near to B. mixta, and, although strikingly distinguished by its white bloom, appears also to be approached by some states of the last species.
4 The specimens scanty, but near to this species, which occurs about Boston, and has been sent to me from N. Carolina by Mr. Curtis.

Distinguished by its generally subelliptical perithecia, which are more constantly and somewhat more prominently papillated than those of the last species, and are marked very commonly with a furrow which at length gapes open. The perithecia are also smaller than in the common states of V. nitida.
3 Some of the specimens appear to possess an evident thallus. Base of the perithecia patent; nucleus white, globose. Beside this, there occurs a state with larger, applanate-depressed perithecia, on a whitish crust, which may be distinct. There is also a Verucarioid plant with very small, often somewhat aggregated, hemispherical apothecia which resembles some states of V. punc- liformis.

Muhl. in Hb. Willd.’ The stations cited under Collema pulchellum in the Synop- sis of Lichenes of New England, &c., p. 92, belong, as respects the New England plants in part, and as respects those of Pennsylvania and Ohio wholly, to the present species, which, as certainly known to Muhlenberg, Floerke, and Spren- gel, I hesitated to consider undescribed. Thallus at first rosulate, mostly mono- phyllous, with much of the habit of Collema nigrescens, nembranaceous, round- lobed, papulose, rugose and very minutely subreticulate-rugulose above, beneath costate-lacunose, from glaucous-green when moist becoming glaucous-lead- colored when dry, a little paler on the under side. Lobes rounded, very entire, ascendant, at length flexuous, and in old individuals the erect margins becoming somewhat plicate, as in Collema plicatile. Apothecia scattered, not confined to the margins of the lobes, numerous (often resembling those of Leptogium azu- reum); at first subimmersed in the thallus, and deeply impressed, but becoming subpedicellate, with a thick, entire thalline margin; the concave disc at length plane (or in old states slightly convex), fuscous-rufous, bordered by the very entire, inflexed margin of the thalline exciple, and contained by a proper ex- ciple, of which the white base (hypothecium, Eschw.) is visible on dissection, though it seems scarcely ever to extend itself upwards as a prominent mar- gin. This lichen appears to be properly referable to that group of species of the genus Collema of which Acharius constituted his section Leptogium; and also (if I mistake not), to be included in the genus Leptogiwm as constituted by Fries in his Syst. Orb. Veget. p. 255. In view, however, of the more recent observations of Eschweiler (Fl. Bras. p. 232), upon the inconstancy and un- certainty of the generic distinctions to be drawn from the presence or apparent absence of a proper exciple in the Collemee, and especially the remarks of Montagne under Collema chloromelum, and his exhausting description of that lichen in the Cryptogamia of Cuba, p. 110-111,* I should perhaps not have ventured to separate the present species from Collema, did not the characters of its apothecia appear to me to correspond too nearly with those of Leptogium tremelloides and L. azurewm, to permit of its being kept far apart from them.
* By Rev. M. J. Berkeley.
2 A distinct form, if not species, occurred at Banklick woods, Ohio, at the root of a beech tree, growing in a bunch, with the gills attached to the stem, but
* In his Cryptogamia of the Canary Islands in Webb and Berthelot’s Hist. Nat. des Isles Canaries, Crypt., p. 131, Dr. Montagne recedes from his earlier opinion as to this species, and refers it to Leptogiwm.

* Ae. (CLyrocyBe£) ocuro-purrureus: pileo subhemispherico, demum de- presso, carnoso, compacto, lento, pallidé alutaceo, leviter purpurascenti; cute facilé secernibili; margine inflexo primum tomentoso; mycelio albo; stipite pallidiore, hic illic purpurascente, medio tumido; lamellis crassis, non connexis, purpureis, posticé latioribus, decurrentibus. Berk. in Hook., Lond. Journ. Bot. iv. p. 299. Pileus two inches across. Stem two anda-half inches high, three quar- ters of an inch thick in the centre, solid, above deflexo-squamose, occasionally equal. This species resembles in most points Ag. tyrianthinus ; but the gills
are thick and distinct, resembling those of Ag. laccatus, and the mycelium (at least in the dry plant) is white. Thespores when dry are of a palish yellow, but Mr. Lea in his notes describes them from the plant when gathered as white. 2 The Rev. M. A. Curtis finds this species in North Carolina, 3 The amethyst-colored variety also occurs, as at Waynesville, Sept. 3, 1844. 4 Ae. (CottyBra) Lacanoruytius: pileo carnosula, conico-hemispherico,

Pileus three-quarters of an inch across, subcarnose, conico-hemispherical, of a rich tawny brown, clothed with short, velvety pubescence, much wrinkled
when dry. Stem two inches high, one line or more thick, tough, hollow, brownish-purple below, shaded off into white above, and clothed with scat- tered short pubescence, downy and rather bulbous where it roots into the wood. Gills narrow, close, quite free, velvety, with tawny pubescence. An exquisite species, allied apparently to Agaricus longiwes. The gills, as in
that species, are densely velvety.
1 The tubers, Mr. Lea observes, resemble the grains at the base of Dielytra cucullata.

Gills distinct, broad, ventricose, remarkably sinuated behind, adnexed, orange, Allied to Ag. pelianthinus. The pileus when
with a vermilion margin. dry has somewhat the appearance of Ag. palmatus in consequence of its viscid cuticle. It must be highly beautiful when fresh.

Pileus two and three inches across, soli- tary or tufted, when young convex, purple, soon expanding and flat, with a broad fleshy umbo, very viscid, varying from light yellow to buff, with the umbo brownish yellow or purple; stém one and one and a half inch high, two lines thick, hard and somewhat woody, nearly equal, brownish-yellow, at first furfuraceous; veil fugitive, consisting of purple and yellow flocci; gills at first dirty white, then brownish purple, at length yellow-brown, broad, rather distant, adnate, slightly decurrent, but easily breaking away from the stem.— Frequently eaten by large larve, and then, with the exception of the woody
stem, turning into a viscid mass. This beautiful species is evidently allied to Ag. Harmoge, but differs essentially in the nature of the gills.

Pileus two to three inches broad, of a dull smoky brown, viscid; stem two inches or more high, clothed with brownish fibres; gills free; spores dull, ferruginous, broadly subcymbiform, with a small nucleus. Smell like that of decayed cheese.
Allied to Agaricus reticulatus, but differ- ing in several points, and especially in its dull ferruginous, not croceo-ferrugi- nous spores.
2 Ac. (CrepinoTus) crocorayuuvs: pileo sessili, subflabilliformi, ochraceo- Pileus scarce half an inch long, flabelliform, convex, ochraceous-brown, clothed with minute adpressed

scales; stem none; gills rather broad, rounded behind, bright buff; spores subglobose, pale ochre-yellow.
I do not know any species with which to compare this. Agaricus croceo-lamellatus is, I believe, the same with Paxillus Panuoides. The only resemblance, however, is in the color of the gills. It is perhaps most like Agaricus mollis, but besides the color of the gills the spores are smaller and of a different form. It is not, 1 believe, resupinate in any stage of growth.

Pileus four to five inches across, thin, almost submembranaceous, umbonate, conical when _ young, becoming nearly plane as it expands, white, viscid when moist; epi- dermis smooth, tough, feeling like fine kid leather, turning yellow when bruised; stem three to four inches high, one-third of an inch thick, white, smooth, with the exception of a few fibrilla, equal except at the base; veil large, at first covering the gills and connecting the margin with the stem, white, externally flocose; gills crowded, very thin, not ventricose, free, brown when young, then darker brown, at length almost black like the dark part of a bean flower. A fine species allied to Ag. arvensis. When young it has a peculiar, but not unpleasant smell.

! PaxILLUs PoROsUS: pileo excentrico, carnoso, nitido; stipite lento, sursum Pileus two to five inches broad,
reticulato; hymenio toto poroso, flavo. one-quarter to three-quarters of an inch thick, fleshy, viscid when moist, red- dish-brown, rather shining; margin thin and even; stem lateral, one inch or more high, one-third of an inch thick, tough, diffused into the pileus, reticulated above by the decurrent hymenium; hymenium yellow, porous, formed by radiating thin folds from a line to half a line distant, branching and connected by numerous irregular veins, so as to form large angular pores, the radiating folds being broader than those which connect them; spores semi-ovate; smell Nearly allied to Pazillus involutus, but appa-
very strong and unpleasant. rently distinct.. The spores are of the same form but larger than in that species. Without examining the fructification it might be taken for a Boletus. —
2 PAXILLUS FLAVIDUS: pileo alutaceo-fusco, depresso; stipite lento, flavo, squamulis glutinosis aspero; lamellis parce ramosis, postice fuscatis, vivide flavis. Pileus two to four inches across, depressed, sometimes subinfundi- buliform, smooth to the touch like kid leather, buffish brown, or pale snuff- color, viscid when moist; flesh rather thin, spongy; gills close, thin, slightly branched, connected by veins, decurrent, forked at the base, bright yellow; stem one to two inches high, one-third to a half inch thick, tough, yellow, rough with glutinous scales. Distinguished by its bright yellow, very de- current gills, which are forked behind but do not anastomose.

Pileus three inches across, thin, arched, so as to present a half ovate form, brown-buff, smooth, not viscid, epidermis cracked; flesh white; stem short, half an inch in height and thick- ness, brown-buff, like the pileus; gills white, decurrent, half an inch broad, extremely distant, not exceeding twenty, more or less connected by transverse veins or plates, forked near the edge, exuding a mild milky juice. An extremely curious species, remarkable for its few distant gills, and the contrast between the brown-buff stem and white gills. The pilei in all the specimens found at present are laterally confluent. It cannot be confounded with any known species.
? MarasM1US PYRRHOCEPHALUS: pileo convexo, umbilicato, striato plicato, rufo; stipite gracili, brunneo, piloso, sursum pallescente ; lamellis ventricosis, breviter adnatis ex albo alutaceis.
Pileus two lines across, hemispherical, umbilicate, membranaceous, red-brown, smooth, striate; stem one and a half to two inches high, slender, brown, closely velvety below, generally rooting, paler above, more or less densely covered with short pale hairs and meal; muce- lium arachnoid white; gills white, at length pale, tan-colored, ventricose, shortly adnate.
Allied to Marasmius hematocephalus mont. ‘Two forms oc- cur, the one smaller and more delicate than the other.

Allied to Marasmius insititius. Remarkable for its very decurrent gills.
1 The gills have anastomosed in these specimens to such an extent as to form a solid wood mass.
2 LENTINUS CHSPITOSUS: eximie cespitosus; pileo plano, alutaceo, fibril- lis brunneis adpressis sparsis ornato, margine incurvo; stipite elongato, striato, Pilei forming tufts of thirty or more individuals, one and a half to two inches across,

plane tough, yellowish-buff, clothed with close-pressed, brownish-red_fibrillee ; margin incurved; stems three inches high, two lines thick, flexuous, tough, striate, grayish-white, fibrillose, solid formed of fibres; gills white, very decur- rent and attenuated behind, quite entire. A very curious species, with the habit of Agaricus contortus, Bull. It is easily distinguished from L. sitaneus
and its allies by its entire gills.
3 LENTINUS SULCATUS: parvus, pileo primum subconico, demum hemi- spherico, carnosulo, diffracto squamoso, sericeo-virgato, rufescente, margine sulcato; stipite centrali, brevi, solido, subconcolore, furfuraceo ; lamellis distant- ibus, latuisculis, subcrassis, postice emarginatis, pallidis. Berk. in Hook. Lond.

* Panus DEALBATUS: pileo coriaceo-molli, flabelliformi, umbrino, striato; stipiteque laterali, longiusculo, compresso, vel canaliculato, rursum dilatato, strato albo, subtiliter rimoso vestitis; lamellis decurrentibus, distinctis, umbri- Pileus three-quarters of an inch broad, flabelliform, sometimes lobed ;
nis. when moist tough and pliable, umbro-brown, striate; when dry, white and minutely cracked, as if whitewashed, with a dark border; stem quarter of an inch or more high, dilated upwards, compressed and often canaliculate, per- fectly lateral, of the same color and texture as the piléus; gills narrow, um- ber-brown, distinct, without any veins in the interstices, decurrent and clothed below with a white stratum; when dry, brown with a white edge. Allied to Ag: farinaceus, Schum, but at once distinguished by its very decurrent gills.
There are few prettier fungi than this when dry. Sometimes the stone is forked, and each division produces a distinct pileus.

Somewhat resembling Panus copulatus. Mr. Lea describes it as tough when fresh, and it is therefore placed in the genus Panus.
3 The spores in this species are subglobose or obliquely ovate, and by no
means elongated as in other Boleti. In the Ohio specimens I find them mi-

nutely granulato-echinulate. The tubes, too, do not separate from the pileus. It will probably form, some day, the type of a distinct genus.
+ Specimens of this occur of various sizes from what Schweintz describes, to five inches across, with the stem eight inches or more high and an inch thick.
2 The specimens agree exactly with one from the Pyrenees given me by Dr. Montague. Fries.describes the pores as entire, but this character is proba- bly taken from Micheli’s figure. ;
3 With this is a variety of Polyporus perennis, which Mr. Lea considered a form of P. connatus. There is, however, such an immense difference in the pores, that I can scarcely credit it, though the external resemblance is very strong.
4 Potyrorus Fissus: pileo primum infundibuliformi, demum fisso, lobis flabelliformibus, tenuissimo, luteo fusco; stipite brevi, deorsum nigro; hyme-
nio albo; poris minimis. Pileus one and a half to two inches across, at first infundibuliform, at length split once or twice behind into flabellate lobes, extremely thin, quite smooth, minutely striate, yellow-brown; stem scarce half an inch, very minutely velvety, black below ; pores white, invisible to the naked eye, punctiform. Closely allied to Pol. varius, but a much more deli-
cate species than any of its allies. The pores are as minute as in Pol. xantho-
pus, so that it was sent as a Thelephora.

quandoque elongatis. Pilei gregarious, ceespitoso-imbricate, coriaceous, three-
quarters of an inch long and broad, deeply, concentrically sulcate, yellowish, cracked into minute, furfuraceous areole; stem quarter of an inch high, late- ral, dilated above, pruinose, yellowish when dry ; pores one-hundredth of an inch in diameter, ditty white, angular, often elongated, edge of dissepiments uneven and toothed.
This curious species exactly resembles Panus stypti- cus, with the exception of the hymenium. I know of no species to which it has a close affinity.
* The specimens are very thin and extremely beautiful.
3 PoLyporws HyPococciINus: pileo subungulato, carnoso-suberoso, intus fibro- so zonatoque, inequabile, exalutaceo-aurantiaco, incano, subtiliter tomentoso; Pileus
poris parvis, longis, e pileo secernibilibus, aurantiis, intus coccineis. several inches across, subungulate or expanded, of a soft coriaceous or corky substance, uneven, buff and orange, becoming whitish when dry, very mi- nutely tomentose ; substance pale buff, (sometimes pink when dry.) consisting -of fibres which radiate from the base and are crossed by concentric zones. hymenium bright crimson-orange; pores one-seventieth of an inch broad, an inch long, crimson within; edge of dissepiments orange, slightly thickened and flexuous, separable from the flesh and partially from each other. This magnificent species approaches, in some respects, the genus Fistulina, but the pores, though partially separable, are those of a Polyporus, Its situation is
amongst the Anodermet.

2 Were not Pol. adustusso very variable this would doubtless be considered a distinct species. It is of a yellow-brown tint, velvety, with a few distant zones, the margin white, rigid when dry, substance zoned ; the pores are white and very shallow. Ithas a fetid odor when drying, The common form also occurs.
3 Pores at first salmon-colored or brownish, in older specimens yellowish- white. This, if my specimen from the south of Europe is properly named, is P. dichrous, Fries.
4 PoLyPoRUS ENDOCROCINUS: pileo crasso, carnoso-fibroso, setis strigoso- horrido, brunneo; contexta croceo-rhubarbarino; stipite brevi vel obsoleto ; Pileus
hymenio aureo-fusco; poris mediis laceratis; dissepimentis tenuibus. thick, four to six inches across, of a fleshy-fibrous consistence, absorbing much moisture, dark-brown, clothed with strigose, flat, lacerated sete or scales; sub- stance of a rich saffron; hymenium golden-brown; pores one-sixtieth of an inch broad, angular, with the edge of the thin dissepiments torn or fringed. This species shrinks much in drying. It is allied to Pol. Schweintzu, but is
distinguished by its saffron colored substance, and its strigoso-squamose pileus. Two specimens only were found.
5 PoLYPORUS GALACTINUS: pileo dimidiato, carnoso, molli, inzequabili stri goso-tomentoso, lacteo, intus zonato, fibroso, margine tenui; poris parvis albis. Pileus two to three inches broad, one and a half inches long, dimidiate or uniform and elongated behind, convex, uneven, milk-white, clothed with stri- gose down, ofa soft fleshy substance, zoned within and consisting of radiating fibres; hymenium flat, or slightly concave; pores one-hundredth of an inch broad, scarcely visible to the naked eye, but giving to the hymenium a silky lustre, white; dissepiments very thin, slightly uneven. Nearly. allied to Pol undulatus, Schwein. and Pol. symphyton, Schwein. The dried specimens are rigid, and sometimes have the margin dark-brown.

? A small variety not exceeding an inch in breadth, and the third of an inch in length.
3 Nothing can well be more different than the pure white, adult individuals and the elegantly brown-zoned plant, looking like some states of T'helephora evolvens, before the pores are formed. Occasionally the whole of the upper surface is clothed with a cracked brown stratum, not disposed at all in zones.

Berk. in Hook. Lond. Journ., vol. iv. p. 303. Forming a compact, globular mass, four or five inches in diameter, consisting of closely pressed curved, imbricating pilei, united at the base into a mottled mass consisting of bark highly impregnated with mycelium, pur- plish-brown behind, where it is laccate with a dark bloom, pallid in front; substance corky, rather soft, ferruginous; hymenium concave, scarcely con- spicuous without dividing the pilei, brown; pores minute, punctiform, pale within; interstices even, obtuse. The mass behind is sometimes perforated by the larva of some insect, which makes large channels through it. Very fragrant when fresh ; odor a combination of pine apple and strawberry, very perceptible at a distance of twenty yards from the tree. The specimen on Hickory was of a fine ochre-red, and the hymenium purplish. Allied to

Surinamensis, Mont.), with which it agrees in many respects. ‘The hymenium, however, is jet black, instead of cinereous, and the inside of the tubes is umber. Like it, it is slightly raised at the edge, and the substance and exposed portion of the pileus are dark brown. The dissepi- ments also in Dr. Montagne’s fungus are thicker.

Pileus eight inches broad, four and a half inches long, attached by a very short, lateral, disciform stem, flabilliform, smooth, opaque white, zone- less, or with a few obscure depressions and short radiating grooves; substance hard, corky, white, one and a half inch thick, margin subacute; bymenium even, of a very pale ochre; pores small, one hundred and sixtieth of an inch in diameter, mostly roundish, here and there forming linear, or curved sinuses. Sometimes the stem is accidentally elongated.
Resembling some- what Dedalea ambigua, and certain states of Lenzites repanda, but distinct from either. Iam obliged to alter the name, as while my paper was in the press, M. Leveille published a species under the name of Trametes incana.

Pileus sessile, dimidiate, six inches broad, three inches long, one and a half inch thick, venose, zoneless, opaque-white, as if white-washed, smooth or most minutely pubescent, in the younger parts only of a hard corky texture; white within, margin at first very obtuse; hymenium rather concave, of a pale tan-color; pores small, narrow, sinuated moderately deep; dissepiments obtuse.
Other specimens gathered at Waynesville, Aug. 8, 1844, after the above characters were published, approach nearer to Lenzites repanda and L. applanata, combining the characters of both. They are flat and thinner, with the pores less sinuous, and in one specimen not al- together unlike those of Z. applanata. The species is, however, more nearly allied to Z.repanda. Even in the thinnest specimens, the margin is not acute as in that species.

Pileus orbicular, one and a half inch broad, fixed by the vertex, rigid, cori- aceous, quite smooth and shining, repeatedly zoned and sulcate; hymenium brownish; pores one-sixtieth of an inch in diameter, slightly sinuous, much elongated towards the centre; dissepiments thin, soft. This beautiful spe- cies has exactly the habit of Hexagona tenuis, but the pores are very different.
It was gathered at Isle aux Noix, Canada, by Dr. Maclagan, by whom it was sent. The specimen is ungulate, and marked with little radiating lines, which are wanting in Mr. Lea’s plant.

Pileus three inches broad, convex, smooth, of a tough fleshy substance, at length much cracked and split; margin involute; stem one and a half or two inches high, three-quarters of an inch or more thick, buff and split like the pileus; tender when fresh; spines even, subu- late, entire, soft, of a pale buff; smell vinous. A remarkably rigid species when dry; allied to A. candidum and H. repandwm.

Berk. in Hook. Lond. Journ., vol. iv. p. 307. Pilei resupinate, with a narrow lobed border, spreading for three or four inches over the matrix, consisting of repeatedly branched, rigid, brown processes resembling some Cornicularia, which are clothed above with gray,
or ferruginous tow-like fibres. Aculei rather long, rigid, sharply acuminate,
brown varying to cinereous, at length stratose. This is one of the most re-
markable species with which I am acquainted. It resembles in many respects HH. parasiticum, but has not, like that, a coriaceous pileus. The whole sub- stance, indeed, consists merely of rigid branched processes, which are partially covered above with coarse pubescence, so that the pileus might perhaps be described as repeatedly branched. These processes, however, are combined into a lobed stratum. I do not know any other species with which it can be compared, except perhaps, as Dr. Montagne suggests, his H. pteruloides, but that he is now inclined to consider as merely a state of Trametes hydroides, whereas the present is a perfect fungus.

Forming minute, black, scattered dots; stroma reticulate; flocci erect, simple, slightly flexuous, sparingly sep- tate, sometimes decumbent and then proliferous; spores obovate, at first sim- ple and pellucid, then furnished with one or two transverse septa, at length acquiring a darker tinge and a few oblique or vertical septa.

Journ., vol. iv. p. 310, table xii. fig. 4 Forming a deep, tawny, pulverulent, but somewhat membrana- ceous stratum, which to the outward eye exactly resembles Oidiwm fulvum, but distinguished by its subglobose, not oblong articulations. The fructifying bodies arise, either from a direct transformation of the ultimate joints, or from the central constriction of the subterminal.

America.

with the hymenium of a Peziza, from which it is distinguished by the total ’ absence of any true margin. The name of Pyronema is evidently inapplica- ble to the present species.
3 PATELLARIA CARPINEA: This is not a good Peziza, though it certainly has asci and sporidia, The former are clavate, the latter subrymbiform. Dvola, to which Fries is inclined to refer it, has no asci. It appears to me evidently congeneric with Pez. rhabarbarine, Berk.

thick; perithecia vertical, elongated, with a very short neck; ostiola not visi-
ble externally even under a lens. Analogous to Sp. hypomilta, Mont., re- lated to S. Stugma. The stroma is quite distinct from the wood, though it exhibits on its surface all its markings. It has the habit of the tribe Concres-
centes.

Journ., vol. iv. p. 311. merous, circinate, elliptic, seated on a pale stroma of rather a loose texture ; ostiola forming a little tuft rather elongated, umbilicate, finely grooved, granu- lated; asci lanceolate; sporidia minute, curved like those of S. verruceformis. Distinguished from Sp. Carpi by its pretty, granulated ostiola; but above all by its minute, curved, not lanceolate sporidia. In S. decipiens the
sporidia are dark and elliptic with one side flattened.
3 Spomria (ConrLUENTES) RHIZOGENA: suborbicularis, atro-fusca stro- mate pallido, peritheciis globosis primum cervino-pruinosis, demum supra atro- fuscis, subtus pallido-fuscis, papilla subtili abrupta quandoque depressa, intus pallido fuscis.

and there depressed ; stroma pale, yellowish-brown ; perithecia minute, dull, not shining, partially immersed, pale-brown when shaded from the light, nearly black above, at first pruinose, globose with a minute and sometimes depressed papilla, filled with pale brownish jelly; asci linear, sporidia ellip- tic. Habit that of S. Laburni. Its nearest ally appears to be S. Gleditschia. S. melogramma as published by Mougeot differs in its fusiform sporidia. Fries No. 441 has curved sporidia.

* Spomnia (Sertar#) Maypis: maculis parvis, subellipticis, elevatis; pe- ritheciis paucis, ostiolo unico, conico; sporidiis oblongiis, curvulis, uniseptatis. —— Habit that of Spheria arundinacea. Spots minute, often purple-brown, punctiform or subelliptic, rarely linear, containing very few perithecia, with a single broad conical ostiolum; sporidia oblong, slightly curved, uniseptate.— Very different from Spheria Zee, Schwein.,as appears from an authentic speci- men in Sir W. J. Hooker's Herbarium.
2 Spomria (ByssisD#) RHODOMPHALA: peritheciis demum confertis, minu- tis, globosis umbilicatis, atris, plus minus, preesertim circa ostiolum obsoletum) miniato-pruinatis, sub lente scabriusculis subiculo fusco insidentibus. Berk. in Hook. Lond. Journ., vol. iv. p. 313. either free or seated on a matted brown subiculum: perithecia globose, at first
Seattered, at length much crowded,
powdered with vermilion which is more or less persistent in the centre; ostiolum simple, umbilicate; asci somewhat lanceolate, pedicellate; sporidia lanceolate, constricted in the centre with a single septum, and containing one
or sometimes two nuclei. A pretty species, but rather difficult to place, as the subiculum is sometimes entirely wanting and the perithecia are rather pulverulent than villous. It has almost equal claims to take its place amongst Denudate Villose and Byssisede.
3 Spomria (SUBTECTH) ARGYROSTIGMA: epiphylla ethypophylla late dis. persa; peritheciis minoribus depresso-globosis, epidermis tectis astomio; ma- culis epidermalibus, punctiformibus, nigris centro candidis sporidiis eymbifor-
mibus, pellidis——Appearing like scattered Phoma, but it has distinct asci.
