HYPOCRELLA AND ASCHERSONIA. 261 



Hypocrella luteo-olivacea Wint., Grevillea, XV., p. 8G. — 

 " Stromatibus subglobosis v. crasse pulvinatis, sessilibus, 

 ramulos tenuiores conferte circumdantibus, superficialibus, 

 facile solubilibus, ssepe mutua pressione plus minus angulatis, 

 extus luteo-oIivaceis,peritlieciis param exstantibus verrucosis, 

 intus luteis, circ. 1-3 mm. lat. ; peritheciis immersis, vertice 

 tantum prominuliSj eloiigato-ovoideis, in collum crassum, 

 conicum attenuatis, 150-180 y. lat.; ascis elongato-cylindraceis, 

 deorsum stipitiformi-attenuatis, 8-sporis, 180-200 X 9 jx ; 

 sporidiis filiformibus, hyalinis, dense septatis et (in ascis) in 

 articulos cylindricos, utrinque truncates, 8-9 x 2' 5 [x seceden- 

 tibus. Ad ramulos emortuos S. Francisco in Brasilia (Ule 

 No. 337)." 



The type sx^ecimen is apparently not in Herb. Kew, Herb. 

 British Museum, or Herb. Berlin. The description suggests 

 Hypocrella palmse. In Herb. Berlin there is a specimen, sub 

 H. luteo-olivacea Wint., labelled "Brasilia: Prov. Sao Paulo: 

 auf Myrtaceae sp. Leg. F. Noack. Comm, P. Sydow." The 

 stromata are subglobose, wrinkled, up to 3 mm. diameter, dirty 

 white, with brown ostiola, which do not project ; they are hard, 

 and white internally. The perithecia are flask-shaped, up to 

 0-45 mm. deej) and 0- 15 mm. diameter ; the wall of the perithe- 

 cium is yeUow. The part-spores are oval, 9-12 x 3-4 ^. This 

 appears to be the Hypocrella form of H. cavernosa. 



Hypocrella globosa Rac, Bull. Acad. Sci. Cracovie (1906), 

 p. 907. — " Stromatibus globosis basi angustata in pagina 

 superiori foliorum insidentibus, 2-3 '5 mm. diameter, cartil- 

 agineis, griseo-nigris, intus albidis : peritheciis subpirifor- 

 mibus et supra collo elongate praeditis, 360-400 X 100-122 [x, 

 parietibus flavo-aurantiacis, immersis sed ostiolo papilliformi, 

 prominulis ; paraphysibus nullis ; ascis lineari-fusoideis, apice 

 rotundatis, 160-190 X 8 [j,, octosporis ; sporidiis anguste 

 linearibua in asco secedentibus et tunc articulis breviter 

 cylindraceis, hyalinis levibus, 2 "5-4 x 1-1 " 5 [x. In foliis 

 prsecipue ad nervos Castilloae elasticse, Buitenzorg in ins. 

 Java." 



Notwithstanding the small size given for the part-spores, this 

 species would appear to be Hypocrella Reineckiana.
