1916 C. Berkeley! Mass. (after the Rev. M. J. Berkeley) a.
Sessile, globose, then expanded, at length campanulate, minutely
pilose, reddish-grey as is the even hymenium.
J'"'® A - A “ - Berkeley considered this to be
a form of 1909a. Massee has made it a species, owing to a difference
in size of the spores and the different habitat.
1917. C. Bloxamii Berk. & Phill. (after the Rev. A. Bloxam) « b

shell, Cydas) a b.

with flexuous hairs, whitish. Hym. smooth, very pale rose-
colour. ®

1918. C. pallida B. & Br. (from the pallid colour) a b c
Sessile, at first orbicular, then irregularly lobed, plane, densely
tomentose to shghtly hispid. Hym. at length wrinkled, pallid
ochreous. ^

Orbicular, shortly villous, white. Hym. light yellow, becoming
fuscous. Spores pale olive.

1920. C. museieola Fr. (from its growing on mosses; muscus, moss.
colo, to inhabit) a b.
Membranous, subsessile, cupulate, nodding, externally slightly
fibrilloso-striate; marg. slightly downy, repand, torn. Hym.
even, whitish, rarely cinereous.

1922. C. fuseospora Curr. ex Cooke (from the colour of the spores •
fuscus, dusky). ’

Solenia . THELEPHORACEÆ 427
XC. SOLENIA Hoffm.
(From the short pipe-like shape ; Gr. solen, a pipe.)
Cylindrical, more or less contracted at the mouth, the external
hairs in some species rough with particles of oxalate of hme, cavity
covered with the hymenium. Basidia tetrasporous.
(Fig. 105.)
The species are all minute, rarely exceeding
-rV in. in height. They grow, usually in crowded
masses, on rotten wood. They are closely
allied to Cyphdla, but are distinguished by the
densely crowded habit and by the cylinders
never expanding. . , „ ,
Fries has placed this genus in xho Boly-
poraceoe, but each cylinder in Solenia is a distinct
Peziza-like plant and not comparable with a
mere tube of one of the Polyporaceoe. To be
allied to the Polyporaceoe each cylinder should
be lined with minute basidia-bearing tubes.
