Very closely allied to Sph, stibl'mbatay Mont., but the fruit is quite 

 different, and twice as long.

Hab. On the deformed spikes of some Carex. Khasia (Churra). 

 Aug. (Dr. Hooker.) On Uniola and Panicum, Rev. M. A. Curtis, South 

 Carolina. 



Black, subglobose, varying in size from a mere speck to that of 

 a millet-seed, or altogether effused, minutely granulated. Cells minute. 

 Asci cylindrical, obtuse, curved, very fragile. Spores filiform, extremely 

 slender. 



Nothing can be at first sight more different than the effused speci- 

 mens on the stem of Uniola; but others on Uniola are much larger than 

 the Khasia specimen, insomuch that the species was first named D. 

 piful<sformia. 



Ifypopteris apiospora^ (Mont.) 

 Hab. On bamboo. Nangki mountains, 6000 feet.

 for Bothidea. I find the sporidia ^rro ^f an inch long, dark, fusiformi- 

 elliptic, with a minute appendage sometimes at the base, like that in 

 H. apiospora.
