252.— Meliola mollis B. & Br. 



This species was described by Berkeley and Broome in 

 Fungi of Ceylon, No. 1178, as having minute conidia 3-75 ^x 

 long, and one-septate ascospores, 20 X 10 ^i,. They gave 

 figures of the spores. In Saccardo, Syll. Fung., I., p. 53, it 

 was placed in DimerosporiUm. The type specimen has been 

 examined by von Hohnel, who finds (Fragm., X,, No. 524) that 

 it is a mixture, containing the following species : — 



(1) A Didymospormm (?) with two-celled, violet, narrow- 

 cyUndric spores, 24 X 8-10 ^. These spores were taken to 

 be the ascospores of the Meliola by Berkeley and Broome, 



(2) A dothidaceous species (? Eousseauella) with cylindrical 

 asci, containing elliptic spores, 20 X 10 \x. This is the ascus 

 figured by Berkeley and Broome. 



(3) A Meliola, with three-septate spores, 56-64 X 12-13 ^jl. 

 Von Hohnel adopts the name Meliola mollis (B. & Br.) v. H. 

 for the Meliola. It is on Syzygium Jambolanum DC. = 

 Ehgenia Jamholana Lam. 



253.— Pisomyxa Amomi B. & Br. 



This species has been re -described by von Hohnel (Fragm., 

 VIII., No. 367), who has instituted for it a new genus, Dimer- 

 osporiella. This generic name, however, is ante-dated by 

 Dimerosporiella Speg., Fungi AHquot Paulistani, 1908, p. 11, 

 vide Ann. My c, VII., p. 557. 



254.— Metasphseria plegmarise (Ces.) Sacc. 



This species was collected in Ceylon by Beccari and described 

 by Cesati as Sphasrella plegmariss. In Saccardo, II., 183, it 

 was transferred to Metasphseria. 



Cesati's description is " Perithecia foUicola, sparsa, epi- et 

 hypophylla, epidermide tecta, depresso-globosa, contextu 

 vesiculoso. Sporidia fusoidea, curvula, obtusa, hyalina, trisep- 

 tata, 10-11 X 2-5. Ad folia Lycopodii Plegmarise." The
