PHYLLACHORA? YuccaE E. & E. 
Stromata gregarious, elliptical or oblong, %-1%4  % mm., sub- 
seriate, sunk in the substance of the leaf, and covered above by 
the blackened epidermis. Ascigerous cells 80-90 » diam., finally 
confluent. Ascioblong—cylindrical, narrowed above, aparaphysate, 
50-60 X 7-8 yw, filled with granular matter and oil-globules. 
Sporidia not yet formed.

HAPLOSPORELLA MexIcAna E. & E. 
Stromata numerous, purplish-black, erumpent, subseriate, often 
confluent for I or more cm. and 2—3 mm. broad, entirely covered 
at first, soon visible through cracks in the ruptured epidermis, of 
soft, carnose texture, flat-pulvinate, the mycelium blackening the 
inner substance of the stem. Perithecia (ascigerous cells)? closely 
packed, 190-230 yp. diam., becoming subconfluent. Sporules obo- 
vate at first, and hyaline, finally brown and mostly elliptical, 15- 
2211-13 y., on stout basidia mostly shorter than the sporules. 
On account of the carnose stroma this should perhaps be 
referred to the genus Aschersonia in the Fam. Nectrioideae, but 
the sporules and the dark color would make it Hap/osporella.

MeEvocraAmMa Ecetinoeu E. & E. 
_ Stroma subcuticular, 1-2 mm. diam., ovate, the apex erum- 
pent, substance white, granular and finally crumbling. Perithecia 
(14-20), peripherical, ovate, 200 w high, 150 yw broad, black, im- 
mersed in the surface of the stroma which finally crumbles away, 
leaving them partially free, narrowed above into an acute ostlo- 
lum, which is finally porforated and obtuse. Asci clavate-cylin- 
drical, short-stipitate, paraphysate, p. sp. 75-85 12 Sporidia 
biseriate, cylindrical, obtusely rounded at the ends, 5-septate 
and more or less constricted at the septa, one cell near the mid- 
dle generally swollen, yellow-brown, becoming opake, 20- 
23 X 6 ps.
