TAB. CCLI.

PEZIZA muralis.

The larger ones herein figured were sent by favour of the Rev. Mr. Alderson, from some clay walls in his garden at Revingham, Norfolk. The smaller grew on some pipe-clay intended for modelling at my own home, Mead Place. They differ much in size, but agree so well in shape and substance that I consider them as the same species.


TAB. CCLII.

HYDNUM coralloides. Schæff. 142. With. ed. 3. 334.
HYDNUM— — — ramosum. Bull. t. 390.

This curious produdtion was sent me in September last by the Rev. Mr. Forby, who found it on a wood-stack on his premises at Wereham, Norfolk : the figure represents it in profile. The specimen is more than eight inches wide, very white, and tough, in comparison to Hydnum repandum.

It appears by a manuscript note that the late Rev. Mr. Lightfoot met with a specimen of this Hydnum in a hollow tree near Uxbridge in 1782.


TAB. CCLIII.

CLAVARIA vermiculata. Lightf. 1057.
CLAVARIA — — — pistillaris. Huds. 638.

These sportive plants are apt to create difficulties; and there seems some necessity of attending to the substance. This, when fresh, is very brittle. C. herculeana, which I have lately received from Windsorforest, is very pithy, and most certainly a distinct plant, which I hope to make very clear when I figure it.
