Luzon, Province of Laguna, Mt. Maquiling, Merrill 8631, March, 1913, 
on living or dying leaves of Cyathea caudata. 
Up to the present time, only one member of the interesting genus Dis- 
codothis had been known, D, Filicum v. Hoehn. growing on fern-leaves in 
Java. The new species differs in many respects from the type species, as, 
for example, the stromata are somewhat larger, but extremely variable in 
shape, being often lobate, and thicker, the asci are more or less thickened 
and the sporidia are larger. The material at hand shows the ascus-stage 
of the new species in plentiful development. The bases of the ascomata
