lich bedeutend von deijenigen der ostlichen Staaten ab- 

 weicht^ ist auch die Pilzflora reich an neuen Arten. Die 

 Diagnosen der liier beschriebenen lauten vvie nachstehend; 



Peronospora Oxybaphi, E, & K. 



On 0. nyctagineus. Manhattan, Ks., June, 1884 

 Conidiopliores simple below, about 3 times dichotomously 

 branched above ^ the uUimate divisions stout and slightly 

 curved:; conidia elliptical, pale violet-brown, 20 — 26 X 12 

 15 fi. Oospores 35—40 jU, rusty brown, episporc rough. 



Puccinia Lithospermi, E. & K, 



On Lithospernium canescens, Manhattan , Ks. 

 Aecidium and uredo not seen. Teletuospores — sori amphi- 

 genous, round, black soon naked, scattered, small (^|2 mm), 

 spores elongated, mostly attenuated above, strongly con- 

 stricted, of a deep reddish brown above, paler below, 

 32-45 X 20—23 jti, epispore smooth, thickened above so 

 as to form an obtuse po nt which is often oblique but 

 sometimes the apex is regularly rounded, pedicels rather 

 stout, as long as or longer than the spore. 



Ccrcospora condcnsata, E. & K. 



On leaves of Gleditschia triacanthos. Manhattan, 

 Ks., July, 1884. On small (1—2 mm) brown or dirty white 

 round spots with an obscure dark border. Hyphae mostly 

 epiphy Uous , brown (continuous) ? obtuse , subdenticulate 

 above, 30—80 X 4 — 5 (W, densely compacted so as to form 

 little black tubercles much rcsembhng perithecia; conidia 

 slender or concave -cylindrical, nucleate and pale brown, 

 becoming 6—9 septate, 60— 75 X 4 ft — var. Desmanthi 

 (on D. brachylobus, Great Bend, Ks.) differs in its shorter 

 hyphae and shorter (30 — 35 ^) 1 septate conidia and in the 

 absence of any very definite spots^ differences which are 

 probably due to immaturity, (Scliluss folgt.)
