darker colour, nearly black, and the sporidia twice as long, 
and probably would be uniseptate when fully matured. 
Sphaerella (Laestadia) cinerascens Schwz., No. 
1795. — Maculis maximis irregulariter et indeterminatim 
in utraque pagina eflusis, colorem cinerascentem in aversa, 
nigrum in superiori servantibus, aggregata sunt perithecia 
innumera, minutissima, atra innata, subacuminata, astoma 
aut demum pertusa, sparsa aut inter se effiguratim juncta. 
Aseis clavatis. Sporidiis arcte ellipticis, continuis, hyalinis 
(‘008 > 0025 mm.). 
Sphaerella (Laestadia) Melaleucae Berk. in Herb. 
sp. n.--Epiphylla. Maculis orbieularibus, minutis, fuseis, 
convexis. Peritheciis subinnatis, atris, in maculas congestis. 
Aseis clavatis. Sporidiis biseriatis, arcte elliptieis, continuis, 
hyalinis ((008—'01 x '0025 mm.).

This can hardly be the Sphaeria Melaleucae of Leveille. 
The perithecia are densely colleeted on small orbieular 
brownish spots, which are convex, so that, at first, it resem- 
bles a Dothidea. 
Laestadia Melastomatum Lev. — Certainly it 
has no place here. The perithecia are hard and firm, almost 
like a Sclerotium, contents white. Asei eylindrical. Sporidia 
granular, elliptie, ‘018—'02 x °007 mm. It has more 
affinity with Stigmatea; the perithecia are very prominent 
and almost superficial.

Herb. Berk.—Epiphylla. Maculis orbicularibus, sparsis vel

Very similar externally to Sphaerella colorata, but ascı 
and sporidia are little more than half as long, and we fail 
to distinguish any septum, the sporidia not being suffi- 
ciently mature to leave the asci.
