HYPOCKEACE^ ZBYLAJVIC^. 9/ 



0*1 mm. high, with a pale yellow-brown wall. The asci are 

 cylindric, eight-, then sixteen-spored, the sporiferous part 

 measuring about 48 x 3*5-4 t^. The part-spores are hyaline, 

 coarsely warted, globose, 3 "5-4 [l diameter, or oval, 4 x 3 ^i. 



Hypocrea citrina Fr. 



This was enumerated for Ceylon by Berkeley and Broome 

 in Fungi of Ceylon, No. 997, from Thwaites 1094, which was 

 part of Thwaites 5. There is no Ceylon specimen in the cover 

 of Hypocrea citrina in Herb. Kew, but in the cover of Hypo- 

 crea multiformis there are specimens, part of Thwaites 1094, 

 marked Hypocrea citrina var. Most of them are immature. 

 The following description is drawn up from fresh specimens : — 



Stromata flattened pulvinate, even, circular, up to 3 mm. 

 diameter, 0"7 mm. thick, margin rounded, attached over 

 nearly the whole base, straw-coloured, with inconspicuous 

 brown ostiola, glabrous, not translucent, becoming minutely 

 wrinkled on drying ; internally white, surface layer distinctly 

 yellow in section, perithecial walls pale yellow. Perithecia 

 globose, about 0*15 mm. diameter, crowded. Asci, spori- 

 ferous part, about 70 x 4 ji. Part-spores hyaline, rather 

 strongly warted, globose, 4 \i diameter, or oval, 4 X 3 ^. I 

 propose to name this species Hypocrea straminea. 



Hypocrea discoidea B. & Br. 



This was described by Berkeley and Broome in Fungi of 

 Ceylon, No. 998. In Michelia, I., p. 322, Saccardo transferred 

 it to Hypocrella. A list of synonyms was given in a preliminary 

 paper on The Oenera Hypocrella and .Aschersonia, in Ann. 

 Perad., V., p. 526, and it is hoped to publish a full account of 

 these genera shortly. 



Hypocrea Bambusae B. & Br. 



This was described by Berkeley and Broome in Fungi of 

 Ceylon, No. 999. In Michelia, I., p. 323, it was transferred to 

 Hypocrella. In Ann. Perad., VI., p. 170, the writer ro-de- 

 scribed it as Balansia Bambusx (B. & Br.) Petch. It is not 

 identical with Hypocrella axillaris Cooke (= Balansia axillaris 

 (Cooke) Petch), as stated by Massce.
