NEW SPECIES OF JAPANESE FUNGI. 255 
of fungi found on P. multiflorum, Thunb., two have proved to be 
new, one of which Prof. Spegazzini proposed to call Fusarium 
oidioide, n. sp., while he has kindly honoured me by associating 
my name with the other, viz. Phyllosticta Tokutaroi, Speg. 
Moreover, the fungus found on Lycium chinense, Mill., forms a 
third new species, Tuberculina japonica, Speg. It may incident- 
ally be added that all the specimens sent to Prof. Spegazzini were 
collected by me in the middle of October 1883; and thus, in the 
case of Puccinia polygonorum, Schlechtd., the stage of develop- 
ment represented is the Uredo-form. Since the microscopic 
fungi of Japan are as yet absolutely uninvestigated, I hope that 
the following short descriptions may not be without value in 
facilitating further researches on these plants.—(T. Iro.]
