so-called Glwosporium Lagenarium as they were in Glwosporium 
Lindemuthianum, and both become Colletotrichums and what is 
more they are probably the same species. 
It then remains to see what the name of the combined species 
shall be. The species under consideration was first published in 
1868 by G. Passerini in Erbario Crittigamico Italiano as follows: 
“Fusarium Lagenarium, Pass. Minutum plerumque orbiculare sub 
epidermis nascens; sporae tereti-oblongate, rectz vel curvule inter- 
dum oblongo-subclavate, nucleo grumoso foete pallescentes € 
basidiis brevissimis densissimeque nascentes epiderme rupta cirr- 
hose diffluentes, demum in acervos irregulares aurantiacos effuse. 
Auf Fruchten einer Lagenaria.” 
This is prior to the Glwosporium Lindemuthianum, of Saccardo 
and Magnus, and therefore the species for the anthracnose of the 
melon and the bean becomes Colletotrichnm Lagenarium (Pass.), 
as suggested by Ellis in 1890 in his xxv. century of N. A. F. No. 
2448.
