Study of the rediscovered holotype of Plicaria tiliacea confirms that this species belongs to the genus Peziza. Type studies show that it is similar to but different from Peziza prosthetica and Peziza obtusapiculata. Peziza vacekii, nom. nov., is proposed to replace Peziza tiliacea (Vacek) J. Moravec 1985, a later homonym of P. tiliacea Fr.: Fr. 1822.
