226. — Lembosia tenella Lev. 

 According to Theissen (Ann. Myc, XI., p. 426), the Ceylon 

 specimens on Eugenia in Herb. KeAV under this name are 

 Asterina crustosa Berk. & Cooke. Cooke recorded the latter 

 species for Ceylon, on leaves of Eugenia, in Grevillea, XXI., 

 p. 76. 



227.— Micropeltis asterophora B. & Br. 

 The type of this species, which was described from Thwaites 

 427, on Panicum, has been examined by von Hohnel, who 

 finds that it is a Trichothyriiim (Fragm., IX., No. 424 ; XIV., 

 p. 9). It now stands as Trichothyrium asteropJiorum (B. & Br.) 

 V. H. 



228. — Asterina pelliculosa Berk. 



This was recorded for Ceylon by Berkeley and Broome, on 

 Pavetta indica, Jasminum Samhac, Acrotrema, Rottbodlia 

 nigricans (error for nigrescens), and Mallea Rothii, Thwaites's 

 numbers 421, 490, and 498 being cited. According to von 

 Hohnel (Fragm., X., No. 515) the type specimen is probably 

 an unripe Microthyrium and the Ceylon specimens are different. 

 The specimen on Pavetta is Thwaites 420, and, fide Theissen, 

 is Lembosia Pavettse Theiss. (Ann. Myc, XI., p. 429) ; this 

 is the specimen referred to by Berkeley and Broome under 

 Cocconia placenta. InAnn. Myc.,X.,pp. 186and200, Theissen 

 states that Thwaites 421, on Ficus, in Herb. Kew under 

 Asterina pelliculosa, is Asterina crustosa Berk. & Cooke ; and 

 that the specimens on Mallea Rothii and Melia parviflora, also 

 under Asterina pelliculosa, are Asterina sphaarotheca K. & R. 

 The latter is Thwaites 498 ; Mallea Rothii and Melia parviflora 

 are synonyms of Cipadessa fruticosa. 



Thwaites 490 on Rottbosllia nigrescens, in Herb. Peradeniya, 

 belongs to the Dothideales. Its stiomata are chiefly hypo- 

 phyllous, irregularly elongated oval, up to 3 mm. long and 

 0*6 mm. broad. They are subcuticular, lying between the 

 cuticle and the epidermal cells, multilocular, with globose or 

 oval loculi, containing few asci. The upper black layer is
