In old sandy fields, Sept.—Oct. The interior of the stem im the 
young plant is, like the gills, violet-purple, and the club-shaped base 
is covered with a tomentose coat, to which the sand adheres tena- 
ciously. 
Related to A. laccatus and A. ochropurpureus, B. 
Hymenochete agglutinans.—Of rather loose textureand of alight 
yellow color at first, becoming firmer and of a light tan color or 
rufous tint as the bristles are developed ; closely adnate with a de- 
terminate margin which is tomentose at first; forming orbicular or 
elongated patches or sometimes entirely surrounding the twig or 
limb ou which it grows for an inch in length, 
Common in Autumn in swampy thickets on Andromeda, Vaccin- 
tum, &c., without much discrimination, fastening the stems or 
branches together wherever a dead twig or branch lies in contact 
with a living one; turns black and dries up during the winter. 
Helotium naviculasporum.—Stipitate, firm, white, becoming pale 
yellow ; disk convex about 1-20’ across, stem about the same length ; 
asci rather broad; paraphyses slightly thickened above; sporidia 
about .001 long, broad boat-shaped, filled with granular matter. 
On old leaves decaying in stagnant water, July. 
Exobasidium discoideum.—Fleshy and firm, but of looser texture : 
within ; at first turbinate and concave above, but the margin soon 
expands so that the fungus takes the shape ot a double convex lens 
1—2 across and $—% thick; pale green and smooth beneath, hy- 
menial surface soon white pruinose, but assuming a pale lilac tint in’ 
drying. Sporesas in Z Andromede, Pk., obscurely uniseptate and 
bent at one end, about .0008" long. Ss 
J — to the under side of the leaves of Azalea viscosa, 
uly. aise 
Sphaeria pyriospora.—Perithecia nestling in the inner bark, 
_ Scattered or subconfluent, often seriately arranged, rupturing the 
_ epidermis longitudinally, white within becoming black; ostiola 
‘slightly prominent, minute; asci cylindric, turgid; sporidia long 
Afb, about 0012’ long, crowded in the asci. Spermatia oblong

On dead branches of Ohionanthus Virginica, May. 
_Gymnosporangium biseptatum.—On branches of White Cedar 
Appearing in April, bursting through the epidermis in little reddish 
chestnut colored velvet-like patches which, about the middle of 
_ May, pass to the tremelloid state, swelling out into gelatinous 
masses the size of large peas; not so distinctly foliaceous as in @- 
Juniperi. Spores long pedicellate, mostly biseptate. 
The portion of the branch occupied by the fungus becomes en- 
larged, swelling out on all sides and increasing in size from year to 
year till finally branches no larger than a pipe stem bear oblong 
swellings an inch or more in diameter and four or five inches long. 
Sometimes the fungus attacks the trunk of a small tree or some of 
the larger branches, causing swelliags of a much larger size. |
