Nectria Peziza Fr. 



This was recorded for Ceylon by Berkeley and Broome in 

 Fungi of Ceylon, No. 1016, from Thwaites 29. 



There is no Ceylon specimen in the cover of Nectria Peziza 

 in Herb. Kew, but in the cover of Nectria hsematococca there 

 is a specimen No. 29 marked " Nectria Peziza," with 

 " hsematococca " written by Berkeley above the specific name. 

 The specimens are Nectria hsematococca B. & Br. 



Nectria sanguinea Fr. 



This was recorded for Ceylon by Berkeley and Broome in 

 Fungi of Ceylon, No. 1017, Thwaites's numbers 647 and 29 in 

 part being cited. The citation is incorrect in suggesting that 

 two of Thwaites's gatherings were referred to this species, as 

 647 was part of Thwaites 29. 



In Herb. Kew there is a Ceylon gathering containing five 

 pieces marked Thwaites 29, " N. sanguinea, cinnabarina." 

 It contains Nectria striatospora Zimm. and Nectria hsemato- 

 cocca. 



There is also another unnumbered Ceylon specimen in Herb. 

 Kew, labelled N. sanguinea, which differs from both the above, 

 and is the species here assumed to be Nectria stenospora. 



Cesati also recorded Nectria sanguinea Fr. for Ceylon with 

 a query, his specimens being imperfect. They were collected 

 by Beccari. 



Nectria hEematococca B. & Br. 



This was described by Berkeley and Broome in Fungi of 

 Ceylon, No. 1018, as " Minuta, conferta, rugosa, coccinea, 

 dein irregulariter vel cupulari collapsa ; sporidiis uniseptatis 

 (No. 1104, No. 29 in part). Sporidia 12-5-15 [l." 



In the type specimen in Herb. Kew the perithecia are 

 superficial, without any stroma, but surrounded by the remains 

 of the hyphoe of the FusariurA stage, scattered, or gregarious 

 in large patches, blood red, subtransiucent, covered with 

 yellowish-red, loose-looking warts, conoid, 0'2-0"25 mm. 

 diameter. When moimted the wall appears pale yellow, and 

 composed of large cells. The warts are up to 100 p, diameter
