This species was first discovered iu a conservatory at Highgate, on old
tree-fern stems, originally from New Zealand. It has since been found by
Mr. W. G. Smith, and is therefore included here as having equal claim with
some other species to find a place in the British Flora.

Spores dark, or yellowish brown ; veil none ; pileus excentric,
dimidiate, or resupinate; flesb soft ; stem lateral, or wanting ;
when present, confluent with and homogeneous with the hymenophore.
Hab. Most of the species grow on wood, a few on moss.—
(D Z ./F .,/. 22.)
The species are very irregular and variable. They mostly appear late in
the autumn, and none are known to be edible. The piuk-spored species, included
by Fries in this sub-genus, are removed to Smith’s new sub-genua
Clavdopm.
