Fig. 7. Parmularia Stigmatopteridis sp. n. 



a: The fungus on a pinna of Stigmaiopterin ichtyosma (Sod.) C. Chr., b: Asci with spores 

 C: Spores; d: Evacuated asci. (a: ^k, b—d: "^"/i). 



On revising the Filices in some European and American herbaria 

 Mag. C. Christensen observed some black spots on the pinnae, which 

 he supposed to be fungi and committed to us for determination. The fungus 

 was found to be a new species of the genus Parmularia, differing from 

 the hitherto known species ^) especially by the irregular structure of the 

 stroma. 



The area of the fungus is the tropical and subtropical America. 



*) For having benevolently committed to us type-specimens of some recently 

 created Javanian species, we are here bringing prof. M. Raciborski our 

 best thanks.
