Samar, Catubig River, Bur. Sci. 24919 Ramos, March 12, 1916. On the 
petioles of an unknown host. st 
Meliola samarensis seems to be most closely related to M. aliena from 
which it differs by the larger perithecia and more slender spores. The 
‘very numerous, short, thick setae completely obscure the mycelium and 
the perithecia, covering them with a tough plush-like growth.
