In (I rev. IV, p. 144. Berkeley reports this From North Carolina, 

 on F't'u.i-iiiH*. with sporidia shortly fusiform. 3-septate. 12|-15 fj. long. 

 The description and synonyms above are from Winter's Pike. We 

 have H-rii no specimen-. This species appears to differ from the other 

 members of the LL'<-IIUS in its hyaline sporidia.

Peritheeia scattered or 2-3 connate, about half sunk in a white, 

 felt-like subiculum, the upper, project inn- part bald, with a sharp, 

 conical ostioliim. Asci elongated-cylindrical, 8-spored. Sporidia uni- 

 -eriate. brown, ovate or oblong. <btuse above and broader, the lower 

 "lid attenuated. 3-septate. con-tricted at the septa. 14x6 (..

Peritliecia MS in TrernatosphcBria, Asci lai-^e, 2-8-s]ored. Spo- 

 ridia lar^-e, liconi<-al. with a snout-like (often 1-3-septate) prolongation 

 at each end. This is hardly more than a submenus of Trematosphceria*

Peritheeia scattered, adnate-superticial, al>out 1 mm. diam.. liemi- 

 spherical, with a lame tuberculiform, liroadly perforated and at length 

 deciduous ostioliim, carbonaceous, smooth or concentrically wrinkled, 

 black. Asci broad-oblong, ventricose, stipitate, paraphysate, (280- 

 340x70/^, Winter). Sporidia overlapping-uniseriate. 2-8 in an ascus, 

 biconical or broad-elliptical, constricted and septate in the middle. 

 brown, 80-100x40-55 p (108-140x50-65 |tt , Winter). The pro- 

 longation at the ends is often obscurely 1^-septate. but these addi- 

 tional septa are easily overlooked and are not always present. The 

 sporidia are often surrounded by a broad hyaline envelope. 



On old peach pits lying on the ground. Common in the peach 



region. 



The asci are very evanescent, so that it is difficult to find an entire 



^ 



ascus containing mature sporidia. Those we have seen were 150-200
