Vae Peziza freely developed. (See Journ. Linn. Soc., ml. 1, p. 147.)
“ The cup was of a bright brown colour, varying somewhat in shape ; in
most it was hemispherical, in some infundibuliform ; in one the edge of the
eup was erect, extending beyond the equator of the hemisphere, in others
the edge of the cup was recurved and sinuous. The number growing from
one Sclerotium varied from 2 to 13, and the greater the number the less was
the size of the individual, Tlie diameter of the largest cup was rather more
than one half, and of the smallest about l-16tb of an inch. The stalk was
well developed, being generally about the length of the diameter of the cup
of a darker colour, and tapering somewhat from above downwards. In one
specimen the base of the stem at its point of junction with the Sclerotium was
thickly covered with hairs.”—P. Currey.
