On ripe peaches. Sept. Bodelwyddan. 



Shallow pits about half an inch in diameter appear on the surface of the 

 fruit, the centre of which is occupied by the mould, bearing a profusion of 

 spores, so as to blacken the finger when touched ; mycelium of waved articu- 

 lated threads, giving off stouter erect flocci, with shorter joints, slightly 

 branched above, bearing at their tips the large spores, which are at first ob- 

 long and pale, with one or two transverse septa. These rapidly acquire a 

 dark tint, elongate, become more or less linear, with /-ll swollen divisions, 

 the terminal one mostly apiculate, -^-^ in. long. — M. J. B. 



1727. Helminthosporium dendroideum. B.&Br. "Tree- 



like Helminthosporium." 



Flocci erect, attenuated upwards, articulated, ramuli short ; 

 spores terminal, oblong fusiform, multi-articulate. — B. ^ Br. 

 Ann. N.n. no. 946, 1. 16,/. 14. 



On maple. Feb. Batheaston. [S. Carolina,] 



Threads attenuated upwards, articulated ; each joint above giving off one 

 or two short branchlets, terminated by an oblong, subfusiform, slightly 

 curved, multi-articulate spore, '0024 in. long, each joint containing a glo- 

 bose nucleus. — -^1/. /. B. 



This species seems rather to belong to Acrothecium as emended.

Flocci fasciculate, irregularly nodose ; spores hyaline, cylin-

On leaves of carnations. 



Leaves studded with large round white spots, on which a brown mould is 

 developed, arranged in little concentric tufts ; threads extremely regular, 

 forming little fascicles, slightly branched, branches often assuming the form 

 of knots, and the upper knots in some cases bearing the spores, while occa- 

 sionally they occupy the colourless upper portion of the threads ; spores 

 cylindrical, with from two to four articulations, slightly constricted occasion- 

 ally at the dissepiments, and beautifully echinulate, 533-333 m.—JI. J. B,
