THAXTER. — NEW LABOULBENIACE^. 185 



hyaliue or finally yellowish, cells HI and VI about equal. Insertion 

 cell opposite base of peritheciuni. Outer appendage consisting of a 

 rather small basal cell, its outer wall blackened, the blackening con- 

 tinuous with the insertion cell, producing distally usually two branches, 

 an outer blackened externally or suffused with brown at its base and 

 once branched, and an inner usually simple and hyaline. The inner 

 appendage consists of a basal cell like that of the outer, and produces a 

 single branch on either side which may be once branched, all the branch- 

 lets of both appendages rather stout and stiff, tapering, slightly curved 

 outward, hyaline or becoming dirty yellowish. Perithecia 100-120 X 

 40-45 iJL. Total length to tip of perithecium 240-270 /x; to insertion-cell 

 140-155 fi. Appendages, longest 250 /x.

Laboulbenia Madeirse nov. sp. 



Perithecium united to receptacle for about two thirds of its length, 

 pale straw-yellow becoming brownish yellow, the whole tip clear con- 

 trasting black or blackish brown, the hyaline lip-edges turned outward. 

 Receptacle concolorous with perithecium, rather short, normal. Cell V 

 relatively large, its upper margin free between the perithecium and the 

 insertion-cell, the latter oblique, clear black, contrasting. Outer append- 

 age often simple, elongate, sometimes once branched above its subbasal 

 cell ; the branches divergent : inner appendage consisting of a basal cell 

 smaller than that of the outer, and bearing one or two short branches 

 commonly three-celled. Spores 75 X 6 /x. Perithecia 100-130 x 35- 

 40 /x. Totallength to tip of perithecium 225-250 /x; to insertion-cell 

 175-210 /i. Appendages, longer 350 /^i.

Laboulbenia Malayensis nov. sp. 

 Perithecium clear translucent brown with a slight olive tinge, becom- 

 ing almost opaque ; united to the receptacle except the abruptly dis- 

 tinguished tip which is hyaline, except the blackened lips ; the latter 

 turned abruptly usually to the right, forming a lateral somewhat irregu- 

 larly four-lobed papilla in which the hyaline pore is central. Cells I 

 and II of the receptacle about equal in length, nearly hyaline, often dis- 

 tally olivaceous; cells III and IV relatively large, translucent olive- 

 brown, cell IV bulging distally so that the dark but not opaque inser-
