The new species comes near Phyllachora apoensis Syd., which also grows 
on the under leaf-surface. It differs, however, by the densely aggregated 
stromata and the smaller sporidia.

Many forms of Phyllachora have been found on different species of 
Ficus in the Philippines. All those listed above agree in the size and 
the irregular disposition of the stromata on the upper side of the leaves, 
and in the shape and size of the sporidia, 9 to 12 jti long and 6 to 9 A* broad. 
We consider all these forms to belong to a single but variable species. 
They agree fairly well with Koorders' P, Fici-fulvae, hence we have so 
named the specimens. However, some other species, such as P, Kaem- 
bachii P. Henn. and P. Fici-minahassae P. Henn., seem not to differ from 
P. Fici-fulvae, and must very probably be united with Koorders* species. 
The oldest name, then, would be P, Kaemhachii P. Henn.

We have compared these collections with the type of Dothidella yapensis 
P. Henn., and have found them to be identical. Hennings has stated that
