It has been customary to refer to Montagne's species as 

 Hypocrella phyllogena (Mont.) Speg., Fungi Argentini additis 

 nonnullis Brasiliensibus Montevideensibusque. Pugillus, IV.. 

 No. 209. It is so cited in Saccardo, and by Saccardo and Berlese. 

 Miscellanea Mycologica, p. 14, " In pagina inf. foliorum Eupatorii 

 ageratoides, Madison, Amer. Bor. (Trelease No. 127)." But 

 Spegazzini's specimen so named is not the Hypocrea phyllogera 

 of Montagne, but Hypocrea palmae Berk. & Curt., and therefore 

 the reference is incorrect.
