CEYLON FUNGI. 19 



GtbatterisB Berk.) " ; another labelled " Dothidea incarcerata^ 

 Berk. Sphasria (confertas) Annonacex Berk, in Annonaceam, 

 Ceylon " ; and a third, labelled " Dothidea incarcerata Berk. 

 Ceylon, 1850. G. H. K. T. In Uvariam." The cover of 

 Phyllachora Guatteridd Cooke contains a specimen marked by 

 Berkeley " Sphseria Guatterise Berk. Ceylon." 



The species, ^(ie The issen and Sydow, stands as Phyllachora 

 incarcerata (Berk.) Sacc. 



242.— Dothidea Tetrantherae B. & Br. 



In Hooker's Journal of Botany, VI. (1854), p. 232, Berkeley, 

 after describing Dothidea repens Var. aspidia, stated that a form 

 occurred in Ceylon on Tetranthera tomentosa which he would 

 willmgly unite with the former ; he had distributed it under 

 the name of Sphseria Tetrantherae. 



In the Fungi of Ceylon, No. 1162, Berkeley and Broome 

 described Dothidea Tetrantherae B. & Br., on Tetranthera 

 Roxbwrghii and T. tomentosa, citing Thwaites 442. This 

 number was collected in December, 1867, and is on T. Rox- 

 burghii ; the specimen on T. tomentosa was collected October 

 12, 1850. In Herb. Peradeniya the co-tjrpe is marked 442 and 

 628, all the 'leaves being T. RoxbuCrghii. Tetranthera Rox- 

 burghii Nees = Litsea chinensis Lam., and T. tomentosa 

 Roxb. = Litsea tomentosa Heyne. The species was transferred 

 to Phyllachora in Saccardo, Syll. Fung., II., p. 595, and Theissen 

 and Sydow agree with that determination. It consequently 

 stands as Phyllachora Tetrantherae (B. & Br.) Sacc. 



243. — Dothidea Thwaitesii Berk. 



This was described by Berkeley in Decades of Fungi, No. 500, 

 on leaves of a Cyperad. In the Fungi of Ceylon, No. 1 163, the 

 record was repeated, but the host plant was given as Ficus 

 oppositifolia. The species on Ficus oppositifolia, described 

 in Decades No. 497, was Dothidea repens var. catervaria, 

 which was not included in the Fungi of Ceylon. It is evident 

 that, by an error in compilation or printing, two lines have 

 been omitted on page 135, Jour. Linn. Soc, XIV., viz., that 

 giving the correct host of Dothidea Thwaitesii, and that con- 

 taining the name Dothidea catervaria.
