H ab. On dead leaves of some succulent plant, Archer.
Brigbt-ciimson. Cup 4 inch across, sessile, at fii'st depressed, then expanded, undulated and umbilicate, paler
below, slightly tomentose. Asci cylindrical. Sporidia globose, gJgg iuch across, with a large nucleus.—The fruit
is just like that of P. endocarpoides, B. The species is almost intermediate between the sections Humaria and
Mollisia. The sporidia vaiy gi’eatly in size in the same ascus.

H a b . On fragments of charcoal, Areher.
Crowded, about a line broad, not confluent, orange, umbilicate, subturbinate, sUghtly granulated externally.
Asci linear, paraphyses clavate. Sporidia eUiptic, j of au iuch long.—This is not coiifiueut like P. omphalodes.
It has somewhat the habit of P. glumarum, Desm., but is far smaDer.

H a b . On le a v e s o f Eucalyptus, Archer.
Extremely minute, pale-olive. Cup turbinate, fringed with long, purple-brown hairs, supported hy a cylindrical,
distinct stem, which, like the cup, has a few scattered white flocci. Asci cylinchical. Sporidia obloug,
subcymbiform, of an iuch long.—A very curious and distinct speeies, which in some respects may be compared
with P. misella, Desm., though very different.—P la t e CLXXXIII. Fig. 13, single plant, magnified; a, ascus,

Cup 2 Dnes across, subhemispherical, supported by a very short stem, white and beautifully downy exteriiaUy,
within pale-scaiiet. Asci long, clavate above. Sporidia linear, subfusifoi-m, curved, °f au inch long.—This
seems at first sight a large form of P. calycina, but the sporidia in that species are oblongo-elliptic, and only about
half as long. I believe the sporidia in P. bicolor, to which the young plauts bear much resemblance, are much
shorter, but I have not seen them perfect.

Minute, at fii'st globose, then hemispherical, with the border inflected, then expanded, white and byssoid exter-

Cup 4 a line broad, hyaline, ocliraceous, regular, concave, subtremelloid, supported by a stout cylindrical stem
about 1 line high, minutely pruinose, and springing from matted, radiating, paDid flocci. Asci clavate. Sporidia
subeUiptic or oblong, inch long.—Allied to P. lutescens, Iledwig.
1 9 . P e z iza ceratina (Berk.); turbinata, stipitata, glabra, pallide fulvo-cornea, hymenio piano marginato.
H a b . On leaves of Eucalyptus, Archer.
Minute, not balf a line higli, of a cleai-, tawny horn-colour, turbinate, stipitate, smooth. Hymenium flat, with
a narrow border. Asci rather large. Sporidia obloiigo-clavate, pointed, inch long.—Tliis species is aüied to
P. elavellala, Desra., aud P. cyathoidea, but more especially to Heloiium tituhans, Mont., a Chilian species, from all
which it is quite distinct. The hymenium is perfectly flat when moistened.

Cup siibturbiiiate, 2 lines across, dark verdigris-green. Hymenium plane. Asci Dneari-ckvate. Sporid'ia uniserial,
oblong, obtuse at either end, subcymbifonn, inch long.—This bears the same relation to P. versiformis
that P. aruginea, B., does to P. (eruginosa. It is more regular, and the sporidia much lai-ger. In P. ver-
sifomiis the sporidia are -g-jVij °f >"1 fot’b long, and much nan'ower in proportion.
