Dr. Cooke has pointed out the fact that two different 

 species have been included by authors under this name, 

 the one having much smaller sporidia than the other. 

 The one with the smaller sporidia he has named P. sub- 

 tilissima (Cooke) ; the other he regards as Schumacher's 

 species. The synonymy is rendered somewhat uncertain 

 by this fact, and only such references have been given 

 above as have been verified.
