Dank dem Eifer des llerrn Dr. G. Martin, der all- 

 jfilirlich die \^'intennonate in Florida zubringt and hier fleissig 

 Pjlze sammelt^konnte die Pilzflora der Vereinifften Staaten 

 sclion durch einc ganze Reihe der inleressanlesten , neuen 

 Arten Lereichert werden, die grosstentheils audi in den 

 vortreff'jichen Exsiccaten von Ellis weiteren Kreisen zu- 

 giinglich gemacht worden sind. Da Florida sehon eine ganz 

 Bubtropische, ja tlieilweise tropisehe Pilzflora bcsitzt, so wird 

 eine niihere Bekanntsehaft mit derselben Manchem erwunscht 

 sein. Wir werden dalier von jetzt an regehnassig die Re- 

 scbreibungen der dort gefundenen neuen Arten unsern Lesern 

 bier mittheilen. 



Patellaria cyanea, E. & M. 



Q 



(laurifoMa?) February. Gregarious or scattered, hypophyl- 

 lous. Excipulum patelliform, sessile, orbicular, 275 /* dia- 

 meter, convex and obscurely marginate, becoming concave, 

 nearly indigo-blue nnd surrounded by a scanty mycelium 

 which stains the leaf blue. Asci oblong -cylindrical, con- 

 tracted at the base, 8-spored, 27—30 x 6 /<, without para- 

 physes. Sporidia biseriate, obovate, 1- septate, hyaline, 



7 — 9 X 3 /w, 



Ascomycetella aurantiaca, E. & M. — On leaves of 

 Quercus laurifolia, March. Dull orange-yellow, hypophylloiis, 

 flat, scattered, 380—400 ^u diameter. Asci obovate or pyri- 

 form, contracted below into a short stipe, 25—38 x 12-15 /u. 

 Sporidia crowded, obovate, 1-septate, constricted at the sep- 

 tum, granular at first, becoming clear and hyaline, 12—15 x 

 4—6 ti. Paraphyses none. Conidia abundant, forming small, 

 loose, white tufts scattered, over the lower surface of the 

 leaf and consisting of closely packed bundles of hyphae 

 100—150 X 12 — 15 /i, bearing lateral and terminal, hyaline, 

 oblong-elliptical, 5 — 7 x 2—3 fi conidia. The bundles of 

 hyphae are hyaline and cylindiical, and separate at intervals 

 of 12 — 20 fi into sections squarely truncate at each end. 

 Apparently the growth is proliferous; the little bundles of 

 hyphae, after reaching the height indicated and bearing at 

 their apices a crop of conidia, continue their united growth 

 for 12 — 20 (M further, where they bear another crop of
