SHEAR: MycoLocicAL NoTEs AND NEW SPECIES 455 
Pleomassaria magnoliae sp. nov. 
Perithecia gregarious, seated on the inner bark and perma- 
nently covered by the slightly pustulate epidermis, depressed - 
spherical or sublenticular, thick-walled, coriaceo-carbonaceous, 
600-800 yz diam., with a small conical ostiolum which just pierces 
the epidermis ; asci clavate, very short-stipitate, 8-spored, 195- 
230 xX 55-60 »; paraphyses filiform; sporidia inordinate, mostly 
massed near the apex of the ascus, oblong-ovate, constricted 
below the middle, at first hyaline and 3-6-septate, then olivaceous 
and muriform-septate, finally deep brown, enclosed in a hyaline 
envelope, 66-78 x 21-23 4 exclusive of envelope. 
On dead Magnolia obovata, cultivated on grounds of the Dept. 
of Agriculture from China and Japan, March 12, 1902. Type 
material, C. L..S. no. 1035 and Fungi Col. Century XVII. 
Associated with Camarosporium magnoliae Shear of which it 
may be the mature form. 
Camarosporium magnoliae sp. nov. 
Perithecia same as in Pleomassaria magnoliae but slightly 
smaller ; sporules subglobose to clavate, at first hyaline, becoming 
deep olive-brown and densely muriform-septate at maturity, sub- 
sessile, body elliptic with a short basal prolongation which is 2-3- 
Septate, 100-112 x 28 ys; paraphyses rather stout, septate, 45- 
79 X 7-8 pw. 
On dead Magnolia obovata associated with Pleomassaria mag- 
noliae, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture Grounds, Washington, D. C., 
March 12, 1902, C. L.S., no. 1034. 
Members of this genus have been regarded as pycnidial forms 
of Pleomassaria but this has not been demonstrated by cultures 
So far as I know. The perithecia of the two forms described 
above are so nearly identical that it seems probable that the asci 
are developed in the same perithecia as the sporules. 
Haplosporella rhizophila sp. nov. 
Stromata .5-1.5 mm. in diam., gregarious or crowded, erum- 
pent, pulvinate-verrucose, deep brownish-black, carbonaceous, 
Somewhat pulverulent, rather regular in outline and somewhat 
Contracted at the base which is closely surrounded by the bark : 
Cells of the stroma 2-10, monostichous, very irregular in size 
and shape, partitions membranous, composed of light olivaceous 
hyphae ; ostiola inconspicuous, plane or slightly prominten ; 
Sporules oblong-elliptic, frequently inequilateral, deep olivaceous, 
Town, 15~21 x 6-8 uw, usually uniguttate ; sporophores less than
