Differs from U. euphorbicola B. & C. and U. tordillensis Speg. in

PHYLLOSTICTA SCAEVOLA E. & E. 
Spots orbicular, light brown, 2-3 mm. diam. Perithecia 
hypophyllous, innate-superficial, black, 60-80 y diam., pierced 
above. Sporules clavate-ob‘ong, 2-3-nucleate, hyaline, 10-12 x 
214-3 pp. : 
The perithecia in the specimens examined were mostly sterile. 
On leaves of Scaevela Chamissoniana. No. 2124. 
HENDERSONIA NITIDA E. & E. 
Perithecia epiphyllows, scattered, innate-prominent, globose, 
90-110 y diam., black and shining, perforated above, about one- 
half buried in the substance of the leaf. Sporules oblong, I—-3- 
septate, not constricted, hyaline at first, then pale brown, 12-15 
x 3%-4% yp, on slender basidia shorter than the sporules. 
On living leaves of Myrsine sp. No. 2305. 
ASCHERSONIA MARGINATA E. & E. 
Stromata amphigenous, carnose, sessile, adnate, hemispher ical 
or strongly convex, mostly narrowly marginate, 2—3 mm. diam, 
nearly black outside (yellow when fresh)? light-yellow within and 
of sclerotoid structure. Perithecia (ascigerous cells) sunk in eid 
stroma in groups or clusters, of 4—8, minute (75—I10 yz) irregular in 
shape from mutual pressure. Ostiola slightly prominent, soon pet 
forated. Sporules fusoid, 2~-3-nucleate, hyaline, 5-7x1% acute 
at each end. Basidia slender, longer than the sporules. 
Differs from A Tahitenis Mont., and A turbinata Berk., in its 
clustered perithecia and smaller sporules.

ASTERIDIUM DOTHIDEOIDEs E. & E.

3-4 confluent, flattened-convex, 300 » diam., or elongated an 
hhysteriiform, 500 X 200 y, fringed around the base with a pros 
trate radiating sparingly anastomosing mycelium, of brown sub- 
continuous threads about 5 y thick with obovate or globose one” 
celled hyphopodia about 7 » diam. at distant intervals. As¢l
