TAB. CCCLXIX.
Fig. 1. PEZIZA hybrida.
This Peziza somewhat resembles P. hispida, and is hairy on the outside, but whiter: the inside partakes of the redness of P. scutellata. We have had it growing two or three years at Mead Place, without any considerable variation.
Fig. 1. P. cartilaginea. Bolt.
FOUND on old damp walls, half hid among moss, very commonly in the spring and autumn. It resembles somewhat the shield of a Lichen., is of a bright fcarlet colour, and of a cartilaginous texture.
Fig. 3. P. Rugosa
FOUND on bits of old rails in damp woods. It always stands erect, and mostly crowded.
Fig. 4. P. PEDTCELLATA. P. cyutboidea? Bull. 416.
COMMUNICATED by the Rev. Hugh Davies from North Wales. It nearest resembles P. cyathoidea of Bulliard, but is smaller and smoother. Its texture somewhat leathery.
Fig. 5. P. araneosa? Bull. 280.
THIS is found in damp places, on old stumps of willows, and very much resembles P. scutellata., though seldom so finely coloured, neither has it the ciliæ at the edges. It is somewhat woolly at the back.
Fig. 6. P. tricolor.
Sent us by favour of William Brunton junior, esq. of Ripon, in Yorkshire. It seems to differ from any we have seen before, and we have named it P. tricolor. The inside is of a pale yellow; the outer rim, which is somewhat thick, is of a darkish grey; the bottom white.
Fig. 7. P. Bicolor. var.?
This we believe to be no other than a variety of our P. bicolor, t. 17. being much larger and rather smoother. Found at Hampstead.
Fig. 8. P. niger.
Sent by the Rev. Dr. Abbot from Bedford. It is very small, totally black, and somewhat cartilaginous, growing on bits of old paling.
