CEYLON FUNGI. 17 



236. — Dothidea repens Berk. 



The record of this species in the Fungi of Ceylon is " Dothi- 

 dea repens B. in Hook. Jour., 1854, p. 231. On leaves of 

 Ficus religiosa, Sept. 10, 1850." But on referring to the place 

 cited it is found that the record there is Dothidea rejjens (Corda) 

 var. catervaria, on leaves of Ficus oppositifolia (= Ficus 

 hispida L. f.). 



In Herb. Kew, sub Phyllachora repens, there is a specimen on 

 Ficus religiosa, labelled by Berkeley " Sjjhosria repens Corda, 

 G. H. K. T., Ceylon, Sept. 10, 1850." There is no specimen 

 marked var. catervaria, but in the cover of Phyllachora cater- 

 varia there is one marked " Sphseria catervaria Berk., on Ficus 

 oppositifolia, Ceylon, Oct. 12, 1850." 



Theissen and Sydow refer the specimen on Ficus religiosa to 

 Catacauma repens (Corda) Theiss. & Syd., and accept that on 

 Ficus hispida as Phyllachora catervaria (Berk.) Sacc. 



237. — Dothidea graminis Fr. 



Berkeley and Broome recorded this from Thwaites 468, 489, 

 733, and 734 in part, on Spodiopogon, Ichnanthus pollens, and 

 Panicum fluiitans. 468 is Spodiopogon obliquivalvis (= Ischse- 

 mum ciliare). The specimens on Panicum fluitans in Herb. 

 Peradeniya are marked 509 and 733. 489 is Ichnanthus 

 pollens. The citation of 734 is probably an error. 



Theissen and Sydow state that Phyllachora graminis (Pers.) 

 Fuck., as represented in herbaria, is a collective species, and 

 the different forms under this name require further investi- 

 gation. 38.— Dothidea stenospora B. & Br. 



This was described from Thwaites 465 on Panicum trigonum. 

 It was said to have narrow, subfusiform acute spores, 15 jjl 

 long. It was transferred to Phyllachora in Saccardo, Syll. 

 Fung., II., p. 602. 



In the cover of Phyllachora stenospora in Herb. Kew are 

 Thwaites 465 on Panicum trigonum, Thwaites 489 on Ichnan- 

 thus pollens, and Thwaites 468 on Spodiopogon (see above). 

 The first of these is labelled stenospora ; the second is labelled 

 Sph. graminis, but the drawing of it is marked stenospora ; 

 the third is not named. The duplicates of 468 are in the cover 

 of Phyllachora graminis.
