THAXTER. — NEW LABOULBENIACE^. 159 



appendage simple, the basal cell more than twice as long as it is broad, 

 the two cells above it abruptly narrower and equal ; two or three of the 

 cells above these broader with thicker walls, the rest of the appendage 

 taperin<T ; the whole rigid, straight, erect or bent toward the tip of the peri- 

 thecium, a part of which it may overlap; inner appendage consisting of 

 a small basal cell bearing a very short one or two celled branch on either 

 side. Perithecia 95-110 X 30 /a. Total length to tip of perithecium 

 240-260 /a; to insertion-cell 185-200 /a; greatest width 60 //,. Append- 

 ages 260-330 fji.

Laboulbenia Asiatica no v. sp. 



Perithecium and receptacle as in typical forms of L. elongata, more or 

 less suffused with dirty brownish yellow, the perithecium somewhat smoky 

 brown above the basal wall-cells. Outer appendage consisting of a large 

 subtriangular hyaline basal cell, which gives rise from a deeply blackened 

 area of insertion to an antero-posterior series of short stout cells, them- 

 selves outwardly blackened and giving rise to from one to three branch- 

 lets also placed antero-posteriorly and themselves mostly once branched 

 in a similar plane, the ultimate branchlets rather long and remotely 

 septate, the basal septa only blackened. The inner appendage consists 

 of a smaller basal cell which gives rise on either side to a series of from 

 two to three branches arranged antero-posteriorly on a blackened inser- 

 tion as in the outer appendage, the branches once or twice branched, the 

 branchlets shorter than those of the outer appendage. Perithecium 140 

 X 45 |U,. Total length to tip of perithecium 400-500 /x. Appendages 

 (longest) 400^.

Laboulbenia Assamensis nov. sp. 



' Perithecium mostly long and slender, free except at its very base, 

 evenly suffused with dark slightly reddish brown, paler distally, tapering 

 very slightly and gradually to the not abruptly differentiated tip which is 

 somewhat rounded and slightly bent inward, suffused with blackish brown ; 

 the left lateral lip-cell prolonged to form a blackish blunt-tipped promi- 

 nent outgrowth which is either erect or bent slightly outward or inward. 

 Receptacle dirty brownish yellow with fine rather indistinct transverse 

 striations, cell V very small, often hardly visible against the perithecium.
