Hab, on the under side of the old leaves of Persea pyrifor- 

 mis Elm., Cabadbaran (Mt. Urdaneta), Mindanao, July, 1912, 

 No. 13312. 



This species is related to Meliola laevigata Syd. which 

 has quite the same habit. It differs however, in the irregular 

 hyphopodia, smaller setae and much narrower sporidia. By 

 a misprint the setae of Meliola laevigata in the original de- 

 scription (Leafl. Philip. Bot. v, 1912, p. 1537) are given as 

 being 350 — 400 instead of 350—700 micro- long. 



Meliola affinis Syd. nov. spec. 



Mycelio hypophyllo, vix maculiformi, subeffuso, laxo, 

 ex hyphis ramosis anastomosantibus atris opacis 8 — 11 micro, 

 latis composite; hyphopodiis mucronatis raris, oppositis vel 

 alternantibus, 18 — 26 micro, longis; hyphopodiis capitatis magis
