208 DECADES OF FUNGI. 



nis suborbicularibus depressis fuscis margine obscurioribus quasi inus- 

 tis ; sporis elongatis pallido-fuscis, stipite brevi. 



Hab. Ou the underside of the leaves of some species of Ranunculus 

 pulcJiellus. Momay Saxndong, 15,500 feet. (Dr. Hooker.) 



Hypophyllous. Spots pale on either side of the leaf. Sori large, a 

 line or more broad, scattered without any order, depressed, brown, 

 with the edge deeper. Spores pale brown, elongated, oblong, attenu- 

 ated above, but ending obtusely, often oblique ; peduncle rather short. 



A very distinct species, remarkable for the large size of its depressed 

 sori.

__^ ^ ^ Paras Nath. 



(Dr. Hooker.) 



Spores oblongo-clavate, terminated by a little obtuse papilla ; epi- 

 sporium very thick, darker externally, so as to give an appearance of 

 two constituent membranes; peduncles long, hyaline, flexuous. 



There is no reason to believe that this Puccinia is merely a state of 

 the Uredo, Instances occur of two species of Puccinia growing in the 

 same sorus. 



* Stilbum lateritium^ Berk. 



Hab. Eastern Nepal. On bark. (Dr. Hooker.) 



471. Cladosporium scopcefoime^ n. s.; csespitulis parvis orbicularibus; 

 floccis erectis simplicibus nodosis ; sporis clavatis elongatis curvis sub- 

 hyalinis. 



Hab. On the underside of leaves of Myristica Chmra. Khasia*. 

 (Dr. Hooker.) 



Erumpent; spots small, orbicular, sometimes scutcUseform, consist- 

 ing of a tuft of erect, simple flocci, which are more or less waved, and 

 repeatedly though not sharply geniculate a])ove. Spores clavate, elon- 

 gated, attenuated below, nearly colourless, lo'oo —so^ ^f ^^ ^^^^ ^^^S' 



A very pretty and distinct species, with the habit of a minute Cir- 

 dnotricJium. If the spores were septate, it would come very near to 

 Corda*s genus Helicocoryne. 



* C. congesiumy n. s. ; csespitnlis parvis orbicularibus, floccis erectia simplicibus, 



sporis brevioribus clavatis curvis subbjalinis. 



Hab, On the under side of the leaves of Idtsaa. Ceylon, (G. H, K. Thwaites.) 

 Spores not exceeding xyVs ^^ ^^ inch. Thread even, not nodulose. Closely allied, 



but distinct.
