Peritheciaerumpent-superficial, black, depressed-globose, about 

 .35 mm. in diameter, with a papilliform ostiolum, membranaceous, 

 cellular, the cells around the ostiolum arranged in radiating lines : 

 sporules fusoid, 4-6-nucleate, hyaline, prolonged above into a

rium smilacinae 



■ 



Smilacina ample xifolia Nutt. Near Lake Co< 

 Aug. 1898 (Prof. L. F. Henderson, no. 4688) 



Al 



Spots dirty-brown, irregular and indefinite, 2-10 mm. diameter, 

 partly limited by the veinlets, soon confluent over the greater part 

 of the leaf, which turns yellow around them, acervuli amphig- 

 enous, tuberculiform-erumpent, black outside, amber-color or 

 flesh-color within : conidia cylindrical or clavate-cylindrical, gut- 

 tulate, more or less curved, mostly narrowed at one end, hyaline, 



50-70 x 3.5-4-5 /*• 



The black, erumpent acervuli have the appearance of a Phyl- 



lachora. 



Pestalozzia crataegi E. & E. 



. On leaves of Crataegus parvifolia, Lake City, Florida, Nov. 

 1899 (H. H. Hume). 



Acervuli black, erumpent, convex, 150 p in diameter, mostly 

 concentrically arranged on large (0.5-1.5 cm.) brown spots, mostly 

 on the upper side of the leaf, but occasionally hypophyllous : 

 conidia oblong-cylindrical, 5 -septate, scarcely constricted, the four 

 inner cells brown, terminal cells small, hyaline, 20-23X7-8;", 

 apical cells with a short (4-5^), single oblique bristle, pedicel 

 slender, hyaline, 12— 15/*. 



Diplocladium cylindrosporum E. & E. 



On dead leaves of Asimina triloba, Nuttallburg, West Va., 

 July 31, 1899 (L. W. Nuttall). 



Fertile hyphae fasciculate, hyaline, erect, 1-2-septate, 50- 

 1 1 OX 5-6 l l , subdichotomously branched above, the terminal 

 branchlets short and slightly curved, bearing at their tips the 

 cylindrical hyaline, erect, obtuse, uniseptate conidia 40-50X4-5 P- 



The short terminal branches resemble birds' claws. With the 



fertile hyphae are a few much longer, simple straight ones swollen 

 at the tip.
