SEPEDOXIEI. 621 



On trees in spring. 



Forming a broad tremelloid mass, wet with, tlie overflowing sap, composed 

 of slightly branched decumbent filaments, some of which are closely septate, 

 others contain a series of globose nuclei, while others are quite simple ; 

 spores 3-5 septate, elongated, curved, acute at either end, the contents of the 

 articulations orange. In age the septa are absorbed, and there is a row of 

 irregular nuclei. — J/. /. B. 



1863. Fusisporium roseoluxn. Steph. "Potato Fusisporium." 



Rose-red ; flocci short ; spores curred, elongated, 3-6 sep- 

 tate. — Berh, Ann. N.H. no. 549. 



On decayed potatoes. Bristol. 



Of a delicate rose-red, forming thin floccose patches ; fertile threads short; 

 spores curved, elongated, slightly obtuse, 3-6 septate, often slightly project- 

 ing at each dissepiment. It approaches Dactylium, but the spores are those 

 of Fusisponurii. — M. J . B. 



1864. rusispoxium faeni. B.&Br. " Hay Fusisporium." 



Hyphasma sparing, fertile flocci very short ; spores oblong, 

 straight, obtuse, 1-2 septate. — Ann. N.H. no. 550. 



On hay. Dec. Apethorpe. 



Orange-red, spreading in wide patches many feet in width; hyphasmi 

 creeping, sparingly articulate ; fertile flocci very short ; spores oblong, ob- 

 tuse at either extremity, 1-2 septate. Differing from all other species in the 

 character of the spores. — J/./. B 



1865. Fusisporium bacilligerum. B.&Br. " Long-spored 



Fusisporium." 



Greyish white; hyphasma obsolete; spores very long, 5-7 

 septate, attenuated below, apex sub-clavate. — Ann. N.H. no. 548. 

 Rahli. F.E. no. Ill . 



On leaves of Alaternus. West of England. 



Occupying the centre of little brown spots; hyphasma obsolete; spores 

 very long, hyaline, 5-7 septate, strongly attenuated below, obtuse, and 

 slightly clavseform above, somewhat curved. — M. J. B. 



1866. Fusisporium atrovirens. Berk. "Green-black 



Fusisporium." 



Flocci effused, white ; spores at first greyish-green, then 

 green-black, strongly curved, — JEn^. Fl. v. p. 351. 



On onions. Summer. King's Cliffe. 



Spores forming about the third of a circle, originating in little dot -like 

 spots, with radiating flocci, crowned with a gelatinous greyish mass ; these 

 at length unite, and the whole of the centre is occupied by the spores, the 

 border still increasing and quite fleecy, if meeting with any impediment ; at 

 length the whole is green-black, and the border obliterated. One cause of 

 the mildew of onions. — M.J. B.
