1867. Fusisporium aurantiacum. Lh. " Orange Fusis- 



poriuui," 



Flocci fleecy, white, at length evanescent ; spores congluti- 

 nate, slender, slightly curved. — Link. Sp. i. p. 30. Fr. S.M. iii. 

 p. 445. Eng. Fl.Y.p. 351. Nees.f. 40 B. Desm. exs. no. 664. Unj. 

 Exan. t. 2,/. 13. Bisch.f. 3804. 



On decayed gourds, &c. [Low. Carolina.] 



At first clothed with fleecy white, branched flocci, which spread beyond 

 the mass of tue spores, and at length vanish, leaving a tremelloid stratum ; 

 spores septate, septa evanescent. Sometimes commences in little dot-like 

 gelatinoiis masses, which at length become confluent, without any mycelium,

1866. rusisporium incarcerans. Berh. "Enclosed 



Fusisporium." 



Pale rose, nestling in the sporangium or peristome of mosses ; 

 spores arcuate, slender, triseptate, — Berk. IntelL Ohs, 1863, p. 

 11,/. 4. 



On peristomes or in capsules of Orthotriclium. 



The characters of this little parasite are not striking, and its specific dis- 

 tinction must rest partly on its peculiar habits,for the spores scarcely diflFer 

 from those of one or two other species, they are about ^{g in. long, but by 

 no means uniform in size. — M. J. B. 



1869. Fusispoiiuxn (?) insidiosum. Berk. "Beaded 



Fusisporium." 



White, mycelium creeping, producing subglobose tufts of short 

 necklace-like simple or branched threads, each terminal joint of 

 which bears a curved, fusiform, a23iculate, 1-5 septate sjDore. — 

 Gard. Chron. 1860,/>. ^S^,ivith a Jig. 



On Agrostis pulchella. 



*' This species has threads very like those of ^genta." Spores ('002 in.) 

 *05 m.m. long. Tufts very minute, scarcely visible without a lens.

1870. Fusisporitini solani. Mart. " Woolly Fusisporium.*' 



Rounded, irregular, tomentose, white; flocci branched ; spores 

 fusiform, curved, triseptate. — Mart. Kart. Epid. t. iii. /. 25,30. 

 Feriola tomentosa. Fr. S.M. ii. p. 2Q7. Eng. Fl.Y.p. 226. 



On potatoes. 



The flocci are too much developed to be consistent with^the characters of 

 this order.
