Doubtful Species 



Byssonectria rosella Cooke & Hark. ; Cooke, Grevillea 12 : loi, 



1884. Described from imperfect material. 



Byssonectria fimeti (Cooke) Sacc. Syll Fung. 2: 457. 1883. 

 The species was described from material collected by Ravenel. 

 This material has been examined by the writer and the only

 8-spored ; spores i-seriate, hyaline, ovoid, smooth, simple, small,
