time it is possible that A. mucida is a facultative parasite. The

Peteh, T., Revisions of Ceylon Fungi, Part IL (Ann. royal 

 bot. Gardens, Peradeniya. IV. 6. p. 373—444. 1910.) 



The revisions of Ce3^1on fungi published by Petch are based 

 on a study of living plants in the island and on the type specimens 

 of Berkeley, Broome and others. The papers should be useful to 

 all workers on oriental fungi. Part II deals with some 50 species 

 and a number of alterations and reductions are made. The following 

 are some of the species dealt with:
