 limited but without any distinct border. Perithecia buried in the 

 substance of the leaf, minute, dark colored, scarcely visible. 

 Sporules cylindrical, 3-3^ x s-f/^, straight, obtuse, slightly swollen 

 at each end, much like those of Ph. osteospora Sacc, which, however,

 confluent, blackening and killing the leaves. Perithecia epiphyllous, 

 abundant, scattered over the spots and over the green parts of the 

 leaf, semiemergent, globose, of rather coarse cellular structure,
