, The species was included in Saccardo, Syll. Fung., II., p. 598, 

 as Phyllachora Thwaitesii (Berk.) Sacc, a determination which 

 Theissen and Sydow confirm. 



244. — Dothidea perisporioides B. & C. 



Thwaites 444, 456, and 494 were referred to this species by 

 Berkeley and Broome, the host plant being given as Desmodium 

 triflorum. They also recorded for Ceylon, Dothidea grammodes 

 Kze., on Crotalaria verrucosa and on Indigofera flaccida (= /. 

 sufmlata Poir.). But the three Thwaites 's numbers, cited as 

 Dothidea perisporioides, refer to the three different hosts, one 

 of which is recorded under D. 2)erisporioides, and the other two 

 under D. grammodes. The fungi on the three plants in Herb. 

 \ Peradeniya are all Parodiella perisporioides (B. & C.) Speg. 



245.— Dothidea edax B. & Br. 



This was included in Saccardo, Syll. Fung., II., p. 563, as 

 Ophiodothis. It has been transferred by vonHohnel (Fragm., 

 XII., p. 57) to Ophiodothella, as Ophiodothella edax (B. & Br.) 

 V. H. It occurred on Tephrosia s^erosa Benth. 



246. — Dothidea phaselina Mont. 



Berkeley and Broome recorded this species from Ceylon on 

 bamboo. The original name was Sphasria phaselina Mont., 

 Syll. Crypt., No. 855. It was included in Saccardo, Syll. Fung.^ 

 I., p. 179, as Eutypa phaselina (Mont.) Sacc, and has been 

 figured by Berlese in Icones Fungorum, III., tab. 59, fig. 2. 

 The Ceylon specimen appears to be correctly identified. 

 Berlese suggested that the type is on the petiole of a palm, 

 but the Ceylon specimen is on bamboo. 



247.— Dothidea Calophylli B. & Br. 



This was described by Berkeley and Broome in Fungi of 

 Ceylon, No, 1171, from Thwaites 590, as " Hysteriiformis, 

 emergens, ostioUs latitantibus ; ascis clavatis ; paraphysibus 

 linearibus ; sporidiis sigmoideis angustis, uniseptatis. On 

 leaves of Calophyllum Walkeri. Nuwara Eliya, 7,000 feet, 

 April, 1868. Asci -0035 long by -0005 ; sporida -0015- -002 

 long by '00025." The measurements are, as usual, in inches.
