Trichia Kcdh-cijcri, Mass., Rev. Trich., p. 344, fig. 8.
On wood and living leaves. New Granada.
E.xternally resembling T. chrysosperma, but known by the
absence of ridges between the spirals, and the bands forming
jnore numerous polygons, 2—3 complete ones being present on
a hemisphere of the spore.
Trichia scahra, Rost.
Sporangia gregarious or scattered, attached by a hroad base
to a hypothallus, circular or irregular from mutual pressure,
varying from pale yellow, through dirty orange to brown; mass
of elaters and spores clear orange; elaters cylindrical, 6—8 g
thick, ending in smooth, acute, straight or slightly bent tips
7—10 g long, spirals not very prominent, rather distant, hearing
numerons shm't, acute, straight spines; spores globose, covered
with a very fine network of raised lines, 8—12 g diameter.

Sporangia pyrifoi'm, stipitate or subsessile, oohraceous, sometimes

wrinkled, filled with large, globose, subangular cells
which become smaller upioards and pass into normal spores;
elaters pyriform, simple or branched, 6—6 g thick, ending in
long, smooth, tapering tips, spirals rather close, thin, not prominent;
spores globose, epispore, covered with a very fine,
irregular network, 10—12 g diameter.
