198 SALMON : SUPPLEMENTARY 
is the fungus which has been recorded (59) as S. Castagnei on 
fiibiscus esculentus. This bears no perithecia, but from the myce- 
lial characters shown probably belongs to £. ¢aurica. 
Ordium haplophyllit P. Magnus (43) on Ruta (Haplophyllum) 
Buxbaumiu, from Palestine, is probably the conidial condition of 
E. taurica. 
Through the kindness of M. P. Hariot I have seen the speci- 
mens, in the Paris Museum, of the fungus recorded by Léveillé 
(Ann, sci. nat. III. 15: 161. 1851) as “&. ¢aurica. On Aplotaxis, 
Himalaya (Jacquemont. Herb. Par.).’’ The fungus belongsas named, 
to the present species, and is growing on some species of Saussiu- 
rea (Aplotaxis). The specimens are labelled ‘“ Erysiphe composi- 
tarum Lk.—in fol. Aplotaxis. Indes orientales, Jacquemont.”
